The St Lucia Zouks have signed the hard-hitting South African all-rounder Colin Ingram for the remainder of the ongoing Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2019 on Monday (September 16).

Ingram will be replacing Sri Lanka’s Thisara Perera, who has been recalled for a Sri Lanka training camp. The left-hander has previously played in the CPL for Trinbago Knight Riders, as the Proteas had signed a short-term deal with the side during 2018 edition of the T20 event.

The 34-year-old, who captained Glamorgan during recent T20 Blast in England, brings a huge amount of experience to the Zouks having featured in 250 T20s in various franchise tournaments across the globe, including Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL), Pakistan Super League (PSL) and Indian Premier League (IPL).

Ingram has four centuries and 38 fifties along with more than 6,000 runs in T20 cricket to his name. He also represented South Africa in 31 One Day Internationals and 9 T20Is.

With the latest development, Ingram joins his fellow South African Beuran Hendricks, Hardus Viljoen, and Cameron Delport St Lucia Zouks for the ongoing CPL 2019. Duminy and Imran Tahir are the among Proteas cricketers who have been playing their trades for Barbados Tridents and Guyana Amazon Warriors respectively in the tournament.
