Ryan McLaren

Ryan McLaren (born 9 February 1983, Kimberley, Cape Province, South Africa) is a South African cricketer, who plays for all formats in international level. He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

Domestic career

He made his first-class debut for Free State (now called Eagles) in October 2003, taking two wickets and scoring 25 runs.

He had also appeared eight times for South Africa Under-19's, during the 2001–02 Under-19 World Cup.

He agreed to join Kent on a Kolpak deal for the 2007 season. In the 2007 Twenty20 Cup Final against Gloucestershire, McLaren took a hat-trick to help Kent win the Twenty20 Cup for the first time.

He had been called up for the South African One-day side for the Kenya and Bangladesh series, but had to withdraw, because Kent did not release him from his Kolpak contract. After renouncing his Kolpak status, he was called up by South Africa to play against Zimbabwe and England in the 2009–10 season.

International career

McLaren made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe at Benoni on 8 November 2009. He has single fifty in the format and took 77 wickets in 54 matches up to October 2015. His T20I debut also came on 2009, against England at Johannesburg. He took a T20I five-wicket haul against West Indies on 2010 as well on his third T20I. The feat was the first by a South African in T20Is.

South Africa

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa. It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho. South Africa is the 25th-largest country in the world by land area, and with close to 53 million people, is the world's 24th-most populous nation. It is the southernmost country on the mainland of the Old World or the Eastern Hemisphere.

South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.
