List of KwaZulu-Natal representative cricketers


This is a list of cricketers who have played first-class, List A cricket, or Twenty20 cricket for Natal and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. The team was renamed ahead of the 1998–99 season following the renaming of Natal province as KwaZulu-Natal in 1994. From the 2019–20 season, the team is sometimes referred to as KwaZulu-Natal Coastal to distinguish it from KwaZulu-Natal Inland which had been created as a separate team with first-class status within the province ahead of the 2006–07 season.
The Natal side which toured Cape Colony in 1889–90 played in the first five provincial matches in South Africa to be considered to hold first-class status. The team joined the Currie Cup competition in 1894–95, the fourth season in which the competition had taken place, and from that date the matches it played in the competition are considered first-class. The Natal B side joined the Currie Cup B section in 1965–66, and matches involving the B side are considered first-class in the competition. Following the renaming of Natal as KwaZulu-Natal, the B section competition continued for a single season as a first-class competition, with KwaZulu-Natal B taking part.
Natal first played List A cricket in 1970–71, the first season of provincial List A cricket in South Africa. KwaZulu-Natal first played domestic Twenty20 cricket in the first season of the CSA Provincial T20 in 2011–12.
This list includes the players who played first-class and List A cricket for Natal and Natal B between 1889–90 and 1997–98, and those who played first-class, List A, and Twenty20 cricket for KwaZulu-Natal, KwaZulu-Natal B, and KwaZulu-Natal Coastal from 1998–99 to the present day. It does not include players who appeared only for KwaZulu-Natal Inland, which is considered a separate team, or those who appeared only for franchise side Dolphins which was operated by the KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union between 2003–04 and 2020–21. Nor does it include the cricketers who played for the Natal side in 108 first-class Howa Bowl matches organised by the South African Cricket Board.
