Emmanuel Sebareme
Edit ProfileCareer
Largely travelling on foot, he and his family arrived in South Africa when he was five years old, settling in Cape Town. Taking up cricket, Sebareme began as a medium-fast bowler, but later switched to bowling off spin. In December 2014, he was selected for Western Province"s under-19 team at Khaya Majola Week (the national under-19 tournament).
There, he took 12 wickets at an average of 14.33, equal with Namibia"s JJ Smit and behind only Northerns" Stefan Klopper (14 wickets) and Border"s Sithembele Langa (13 wickets).
He had more success in his next three-day match, taking 2/21 and 0/19 against Griqualand West, as well as in his sole limited-overs match to date, taking 1/18 against North West. Sebareme was named in Western Province"s squad for the Africa T20 Cup in September 2015, and went on to make his Twenty20 debut in his team"s last match of the tournament.
Outside of playing cricket, he studies economics at the University of the Western Cape, on a full bursary.
