List of Limpopo representative cricketers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of cricketers who have played first-class, List A cricket, or Twenty20 cricket for the Limpopo cricket team in South Africa.

Limpopo, which represents Limpopo province in the north-east of South Africa, was awarded first-class cricket status ahead of the 2006–07 cricket season and played in the Provincial Three-Day Challenge first-class competition and One-Day Cup for a single season. After losing five of their eight first-class matches, the side, along with Kei and Mpumalanga, lost their first-class status, Cricket South Africa (CSA) considering that their performance had been too weak for them to continue to hold first-class status.[a][1]

The side played in the CSA Rural League during the 2010s,[2] before being invited to take part in the 2018 Africa T20 Cup, making its top-class Twenty20 debut.[3] From the 2019–20 season it competed in the CSA Provincial T20 Cup, the second division Twenty20 tournament, with matches holding official Twenty20 status. After a two season trial period, during which Limpopo played in the second division first-class and List A competitions with the matches involving the team not considered to hold top-level status, it was promoted to first-class status again in October 2022, with matches played during the 2022–23 season having first-class or List A status.[b][4]

This list includes the players who played first-class and List A cricket for Limpopo in 2006–07 and from 2022–23, and Twenty20 cricket for the side from 2018–19.[2]
