David Guy Bedingham (born 22 April 1994) is a South African cricketer.[1] He holds United Kingdom ancestry visa and qualified for English county cricket as a local player.[2]

Career

[edit]

Bedingham made his first-class debut for Northerns in the 2012–13 CSA Provincial Three-Day Competition on 14 March 2013.[3]

He was the leading run-scorer in the 2017–18 CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge tournament for Boland, with 283 runs in seven matches.[4] He was also the leading run-scorer in the 2017–18 Sunfoil 3-Day Cup for Boland, with 790 runs in eight matches.[5]

In June 2018, he was named in the squad for the Cape Cobras team for the 2018–19 season.[6] In September 2018, he was named in Boland's squad for the 2018 Africa T20 Cup.[7] In September 2019, he was named in the squad for the Cape Town Blitz team for the 2019 Mzansi Super League tournament.[8]

In September 2019, he was named in Western Province's squad for the 2019–20 CSA Provincial T20 Cup.[9] In April 2021, he was named in Western Province's squad, ahead of the 2021–22 cricket season in South Africa.[10] Later the same month, Bedingham scored his maiden double century in first-class cricket, with 257 runs for Durham in the 2021 County Championship in England.[11] In the inaugural season of The Hundred, he was signed by the Birmingham Phoenix[12] to replace Finn Allen for the remainder of the tournament.

Having previously considered waiting to qualify for England,[13] Bedingham made his long awaited debut for South Africa in the 2023/24 2 match test series against India. In his debut at Centurion, Bedingham made his maiden test half century hitting 56 off 87 helping South Africa to a convincing victory. [14]

Bedingham was again called up to the South African side to tour New Zealand for a 2 match test series.[15] In the 2nd test of the series, Bedingham scored his maiden test century hitting 110 off 141 balls to set a 267 run target for New Zealand to chase. [16]
