First Class, Domestic & Club Cricket

Ingram played 2 seasons in England for Spondon Cricket Club in the Derbyshire Premier League. Scoring 2401 runs at an average of 57.17.

Ingram is among the brightest talents produced by the Eastern Cape in recent years. Happily for a region of South Africa that has often seen its budding stars bloom fully elsewhere, Ingram has remained true to his roots and stayed with the Warriors.  Colin Ingram brings a bracing brand of aggression to opening the batting, and he took his game to the next level when he scored 85 off 111 balls to guide South Africa A to victory over Pakistan A in Colombo in the first match of a tri-series that also involved Sri Lanka A.
