Colin Alexander Ingram (born 3 July 1985) is a South African cricketer who currently plays forGlamorgan. He representedSouth Africa inOne Day (ODI) andTwenty20 Internationals (T20I) between 2010 and 2013, scoring a century on his ODI debut against Zimbabwe.
Ingram was born inPort Elizabeth. He attendedWoodridge College in theEastern Cape where he was their star cricketer in his years there.[1] He played for the college for five years, captaining the side for three of them. He made his school First XI debut at the age of 14 and continued to play at this level throughout the rest of his high school career. He played provincial cricket for the Eastern Province team and was also selected for the South African schools team.[2]
Ingram accepted a scholarship to study at theUniversity of the Free State in 2004. He enjoyed a successful stint in the university team before leaving to return to the Eastern Cape.[citation needed]
Ingram struggled for a batting spot in the Eastern Province originally, but soon after he gained experience from both County Cricket, and some playing time for Eastern Province, his skills increased with each innings played.[citation needed]
Ingram is among the brightest talent produced by the Eastern Cape in recent years.[citation needed][when?] In a region of South Africa that has often seen its budding stars bloom fully elsewhere, Ingram has remained true to his roots and stayed with the Warriors. He brings a bracing brand of aggression to opening the batting, and he took his game to the next level when he scored 85 off 111 balls to guide South Africa A to victory over Pakistan A inColombo in the first match of a triangular series that also involved Sri Lanka A.[3]
It was announced on 21 November 2014 that Ingram had signed a three-year contract with Glamorgan as aKolpak player subject to clearance from Cricket South Africa, the ECB and him obtaining a visa.[4] He had a very successful one day season with Glamorgan in 2015 scoring 405 runs in 8 matches at an average of 81 including three centuries and one 50.[5] His Championship season was steady rather than spectacular as he scored 931 runs at 37.24 with two centuries and four 50s.[6]
Ingram was named Glamorgan's player of the season in 2024 after scoring 2,001 runs across all three formats.[7][8] He signed a new two-year contract with the club in October 2024.[7][9]
