Ryan Canning

Ryan Canning is a talented wicketkeeper-batsman who the Cape Cobras have invested in over the last four seasons. Canning has had to serve as understudy to former Cobras captain Thami Tsolekile, playing for the Western Province amateur side in the meantime, but a superb 2008 season raised his value. In that season he scored his maiden first-class century and contributed several useful scores in the middle order. Canning has also toured with the South African Academy, scoring a century in Pakistan in 2005-06. He was selected as the Cobras' wicketkeeper in the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 in India in 2009.
