Profile

Craig Kieswetter is a wicketkeeper-batsman of great potential who, despite playing for South Africa in the Under-19 World Cup in 2005-06, has decided to qualify for England instead. Educated at Millfield School, he made his Somerset first-team debut in April 2007, scoring 69 not out off 58 balls and taking a catch his coach described as "world class".
