A right-arm medium and right-hand bat, MacLeod played all his first class matches for the Natal B team, taking 9 wickets and scoring 57 runs. His first match was in January 1968 against the Orange Free State and his subsequent matches during the holiday period (18 December to 18 January) of the 1970/71 season.

He became president of the Natal Cricket Union (1991–92) and an executive member of the South African Cricket Union (1987–90) and after its merger with the South African Cricket Board of the United Cricket Board of South Africa (1991–94).

He was also chairman of the South African Sugar Millers Association Limited from 1995 to 1997. During his tenure as managing director, he negotiated the May 1997 R1.6 billion ($225 million, £128 million) deal to merge Lonhro’s sugar interests with those of Illovo, making Illovo the largest sugar producer in Africa.
