Cameron Delport is a swashbuckling South African cricketer who specializes more in the T20 format. He has carved out a niche for himself in South Africa. He was included in the KwaZulu-Natal cricket team squad for the 2015 Africa T20 Cup.
Delport, an aggressive left-handed batsman, has become a dangerous figure in Twenty20 sides around the globe, making an impact for Leicestershire in the NatWest Blast, Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League and also representing Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash.
A career-best 109 from 59 balls against Nottinghamshire saw Leicestershire qualify for the T20 Blast quarter-finals in 2017 for only the second time in 11 seasons.
Delport has played in the Big Bash League (Sydney Thunders) and the Caribbean Premier League for the Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel, and slammed 34 off 9 for Dolphins to briefly threaten Chennai Super Kings during a massive chase in the 2014 Champions League T20. He finished that tournament with a strike rate of 280.
He also represented Lahore Qalandars during the first edition of Pakistan Super League. Leicestershire Foxes snapped the South African for the Natwest T20 blast 2016 season. There is no doubt in his ability, but if he has to make it to the national side, Delport will have to find a way to be consistent at the top-order and should focus on converting the starts into big ones, according to the Cricketing Pundits.
