Caleb Montague is a passionate and highly driven cricketer making waves in Wellington cricket.
A run machine from the top-order who bowls useful leg-spin, Montague has represented Wellington Under-19 over the past two seasons, including successive National Under-19 Tournaments (133 runs at 26.60 in December 2019, and 174 runs at 24.85 in December 2020).
Montague earned his Wellington selection courtesy of his exploits at school and age-group cricket. In 2019, he was the second leading run-scorer at the National Under-17 Tournament, with the highest score of 166. For his school – the prestigious St. Patrick’s College Silverstream, following his 1st XI debut as a 14-year-old (in 2017), he went on to score the most runs in the school’s history, a total of 2,964 runs at 45.50, alongside 78 wickets at 19.
During his tenure, he also broke many records, including becoming the only player to school 2 hundreds in a game. He was, unsurprisingly, the leading run-scorer for Silverstream in each of his seasons and was a finalist for College Cricketer of the Year in both 2019 and 2020.
Alongside his age-group and school cricket, he has broken into Hutt District Cricket Club’s Premier Men’s set-up over the past two seasons. He scored a match-winning 54* on debut and was awarded the club’s Most Promising Cricketer in 2019. He was part of Hutt District’s Pearce Cup (Premier Men’s Two-Day Competition) title success in 2019/20 and is now pushing for higher honours.
Last summer, he played all bar 1 game in Hutt District's Premier side, where he averaged 41 in the One-Day Competition. In his sole match in the Premier Reserves, he belted 134, and took 2 cheap wickets.
Montague is an exciting prospect who seems destined for Provincial cricket. He is an incredibly hard-worker, who has spent time in India (Anantapur and Bangalore) over the past 3-years. He has involved with the Wellington A and Firebirds winter batting sessions and is clearly seen as a future batting prospect for Wellington.
Montague, who comes highly recommended by Firebirds legend, former Blackcaps player Luke Woodcock, is seeking an opportunity in Ireland or Holland for the 2022 season. A high-class prospect – someone we suspect will shine next summer.
