Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Pringle continued to be England's second choice all-rounder and was picked for the World Cup in 1987 after Ian Botham decided not to tour. Pringle's military medium bowling proved ineffective on the flat tracks in Asia, and lost his place once again. Pringle's in and out fortunes continued throughout his career, and after a couple of roller- coaster years, lost his place to Chris Lewis in 1990.
However, that was not the last of Pringle. England's youth policy did not last long and he made his way back in a couple of years. He worked on his swing bowling and returned a much better bowler in a Test series against West Indies. However, his old competitor Ian Botham made a surprise return for the final Test and Pringle was dropped again. He retained his spot in the ODI version, and was England's star in the 1992 World Cup where they finished runners up. Opening the bowling, he gave England tidy starts and proved to be effective on the Australian pitches. He retired from cricket after he was dropped from the Test squad for the 1992-93 tour of India. Pringle was interested in Archaeology, photography and writing, and became a cricket writer after his playing days.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
When the chairman of selectors Peter May plucked 23-year-old Derek Pringle from Cambridge to the England team in 1982, amateur psychologists had a rare treat. People speculated that May, a man with four daughters, saw in Pringle the son he never had. He was certainly not the son he would have expected. The most fluent undergraduate stroke player in a generation turned out to be primarily a medium-pace bowler who could use his 6ft 4in to generate swing and bounce and play occasionally effective innings in the mid to late-order. He hardly thought like the strait-laced May either: Pringle, the first England cricketer to wear an ear-ring, had eclectic tastes in reading, slightly outre tastes in music and lateral thought processes. Spectators, especially outside Essex, derided him constantly - as an ungainly under-achiever who lumbered round the field. But he retained the confidence even of captains as stern as Graham Gooch, since he was adaptable, dependable and, beneath the unconventional veneer, loyal. His overall record with bat and ball was unimpressive for someone who played 30 Tests. May - who disliked the press - might have been more horrified by his subsequent career as cricket correspondent of The Independent, latterly, The Daily Telegraph.
