Kabelo Sekhukhune

^{Four seasons in English club cricket. 3,820 runs at an average of 49.61, seven centuries, 28 half-centuries and 78 wickets. Kabelo is one of the most proven overseas professionals on the English club cricket circuit. A top-order batter and off-spinner who has finished as Eckington CC's leading run scorer three seasons running. He fills two roles with a single overseas signing.}

^{With the bat he is equally at home opening or at number 3. A solid technique, a wide range of shots and the confidence to take on any type of bowling allow him to adapt to whatever the game needs, whether that is seeing off the new ball, batting long or accelerating when the match is there to be won. With the ball his off-spin has proven to be a useful option. He took 55 wickets for Eckington CC across the 2024 and 2025 seasons.}

^{His record in England shows a player who keeps getting better. After a debut season at Caythorpe CC in the Nottinghamshire Premier League in 2023, where he produced several match-winning performances in challenging conditions. In 2024, he joined Derbyshire County Cricket League side Eckington CC and took off. In 2024 he scored 967 runs at 53.72 and took 25 wickets at 23.04. In 2025 he scored 1,269 runs at 48.81 and took 30 wickets at 20.63, finishing as the third highest run scorer in the league and played a pivotal role in Eckington's promotion to the Derbyshire Premier League. When the standard went up in 2026, so did his output. He scored 1,191 runs at 62.68, the best average of his UK career, and was the third highest run scorer in the Derbyshire Premier League despite playing fewer games than the two players above him. Along the way he made 150 and an unbeaten 167, the highest individual score of the Derbyshire Premier League season.}

^{That consistency is built on serious pedigree having played professional cricket consistently for over 10 years. At the end of 2019 Kabelo was selected for the South African Invitational XI to face the touring England side and scored two half-centuries in four matches against an attack featuring Jimmy Anderson, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan, Saqib Mahmood and Matt Parkinson. He was part of the South African Emerging Squad from 2019 to 2021 and has played professionally for Easterns, Titans and Warriors, having made his First Class, List A and T20 debuts all in the same month in 2014. Before that he came through South Africa's elite pathway, representing South Africa U19 on their tour to England and at home against Bangladesh in 2014/15, South Africa U17 at the CSA Franchise Cubs Week and Easterns at the prestigious Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Week.}

^{Clubs who have signed Kabelo value him just as highly off the field. He is friendly, popular and quickly becomes a central part of the dressing room. He brings a professionalism that lifts the standards of everyone around him, and at both Caythorpe CC and Eckington CC the club's younger players developed noticeably from playing alongside him. As a knowledgeable coach, he adds real value to any club's juniors and development programme.}

^{Kabelo is looking to return to English cricket next season and is determined to show the full extent of his ability with bat and ball. A proven run-scorer in English conditions, a wicket-taking off-spinner and a positive influence in any dressing room, he is a signing that will make a club better on and off the field.}
