Wayne Parnell is a left-hand batsman and medium-fast bowler with strong leadership qualities. He made his first-class debut for Eastern Province in 2006-07 and was also part of South Africa’s Under-19 squad for the 2006 World Cup in Sri Lanka. The experience he gained over the years brought him him the captaincy for the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2008 and he led by example: taking 18 wickets, the most in the tournament, and scoring useful runs in the middle-order to steer South Africa into the final. His best performance came in the quarter-final against Bangladesh, when he took 6 for 8 after scoring 57. The South Africa selectors were already taking note and he went on the Emerging Players tour of Australia before a call-up to the senior one-day squad for the series in early 2009.
