Thando Ntini is an exciting prospect and son of Proteas legend Makhaya Ntini. Like his father, Thando is an opening bowler who’s enjoyed plenty of success during his career to date.
He represented South Africa at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in January 2018 and was picked up by the South Africa Emerging Players in 2019. He has starred at both provincial and Franchise level for Western Province, Cape Cobras, Titans, and most recently KwaZulu-Natal Coastal, and the Dolphins.
In his 50-plus domestic matches to date, Ntini has taken over 80 wickets, including best bowling figures of 4-36 on his Momentum One Day Cup debut for the Cobras in February 2020.
The talented quick, who is a useful batter in the lower-middle order, has also enjoyed huge success in the Kent League over the past two seasons. In 2023, Ntini was instrumental in Lordswood Cricket Club's Premier League victory (416 runs at 32 and 28 wickets at 22.25), and he backed this up last summer with a further 276 runs at 19.71 and 37 wickets at 15.51.
Ntini was surprisingly overlooked for a South African domestic contract in 2024/25, so he's set to travel down under having signed with Wynnum-Manly for their Brisbane Premier League campaign, before seeking a return to Northern shores for the 2025 season.
It's fair to say Ntini will be a sought after acquisition, as unlike contracted South African professionals, he will be available for the entire UK summer.
