Profile
Fondly known as JP, South African cricketer Jean-Paul Duminy is renowned for his stylish performances usually batting at the top of the order. However, success to him came rather late since his entry into the international circuit. He came into national prominence after exhibiting his vast potential in South Africa’s Under-19 tour to England in 2003. A brief stint with his domestic team, the Western Province also strengthened his foundation for a national inclusion.
Duminy debuted in ODIs in 2004, but his initial years were marked by failure more than success. However, he made a phenomenal start to his Test career since his debut in 2008 and played some fine anchor innings to help South Africa clinch important victories. Soon, he became an integral part of the limited-overs side too. Despite not being one of the regular bowlers in the side, his interesting bowling style comes in handy at times. With a calm approach and an elegant batting skill, Duminy has, over the years carved out a strong place for himself in the Protean side. A graceful player of the cover –drive and square cut, he fancies the midwicket region and has fewer problems in facing short deliveries. He is one of the best fieldsmen alongside some big names like AB de Villiers and Herschelle Gibbs.
Duminy has also been a part of the Indian Premier League, initially representing the franchise of Mumbai and later plying his trade for the Hyderabad, along with playing for Cape Cobras in South Africa’s domestic T20 competition.
