Louis Delport is an accomplished left-arm spin bowling all-rounder playing for the Auckland Aces in New Zealand domestic cricket.
Originally from South Africa, Delport represented Western Province in 2014/15 before emigrating to New Zealand shortly thereafter. Following his qualification period, Delport was selected to play for Auckland during the 2017/18 season, and he hasn’t looked back.
Since his Aces debut, Delport has forged quite the career in New Zealand. As it stands, heading into the 2024/25 season, the left-arm tweaker has 163 domestic wickets across all formats for the Aces, not to mention his fair share of runs from the lower order. He has cemented his spot in the Auckland set-up and is now regarded as the State's forefront left-arm spinner.
Not only a strong left-arm spinner, the Aces star is a competent batter who has produced several match-winning performances. He has been a key component of the Aces success in recent years, including Ford Trophy (2019/20-20/21), Plunket Shield (2020/21), and Super Smash T20 (2023/24) titles.
Individually, Delport averages mid-20s with the ball in white ball cricket, and low 30s in red-ball, including 4 x 5-fors and a hatrick. The talented all-rounder is a fantastic performer, who also enjoyed success in England many years ago, is now eager to return to Northern shores for another stint in 2025.
Delport will be available for the majority of the 2025 season (till end of August), and is someone we highly recommend.
