Wakefield-born Bennett, a middle-order batsman and fast-medium bowler, made his first-class debut for the county aged 16 against Lancashire in 1950.
He went on to play 392 first-class games for the first XI, scoring over 10,000 runs and taking 748 wickets.
After retiring Bennett became Middlesex coach in 1969 and won seven County Championship titles, one of them shared, before leaving the job in 1997.
