Kyle Abbott Biography

Born in Empangeni, Natal province, Kyle Abott is South Africa’s upcoming talent in an already well-established bowling attack which consists of Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, and Vernon Philander. With so many star fast bowlers in a side, Abbott has found it difficult to find a regular spot for himself in the national side.

He burst onto the international scene when he was given a debut against Pakistan at Centurion due to an injury to Jacques Kallis. Abbott didn’t disappoint, as he picked up seven wickets in the first innings and finished the match with nine. He however did not have successful outings against Australia and West Indies in the next two games, and has fallen down the pecking order in the Test side since.

A disappointing T20I debut against Pakistan soon followed, where Abbott went for 41 runs and picked up just one wicket in his for overs.  However, he bowled exceedingly well against Australia in the three-match T20I series which South Africa won comfortably.

Abbot’s ODI career isn’t much to brag about either, but he was picked ahead of Ryan McLaren for the ICC World Cup 2015. Though Abbott has the ability to shine at the highest level, he lacks the consistency needed for performing at the highest level.
