JJ Smuts
Overview
JJ Smuts
An unusual name didn't help him start his career in a different way. A top order right-hand batsman and a left-arm orthodox spinner, Jon-Jon Smuts was barely six when he first put on his batting pads. Smuts made his first-class debut for Eastern Province in 2007 and then went on to represent the South African team in the 2008 ICC U19 World Cup. He put on a gutsy 58 in the semi-final that helped his team qualify for the finals. He was also a part of the Protean team that won the 2010 Emerging Players Tournament held in Australia. Smuts represents the Warriors team in the Twenty20 arena.
In the 2010/11 South African domestic season he was named the Chevrolet Warriors cricketer of the season. He was included in the Eastern Province cricket team squad for the 2015 Africa T20 Cup.
