Early life
Ingram was born in the Eastern Cape and his talent was evident from a very early age. He attended Woodridge College in the Eastern Cape where he was their star cricketer in his years there, and captained the side for 3 years, and played for the side for 5.
Ingram made his First Team debut at the age of 14 and continued to play at this level throughout the rest of his high school career. He played provincial cricket for the Eastern Province team and was also selected for the South African schools team.
Ingram accepted a scholarship to study at the Free State University in 2004. He enjoyed a successful stint in the university team before leaving to return to the Eastern Cape
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 struggled for batting spot in the Eastern Province originally, but soon after he gained experience from both County Cricket, and some playing time for Eastern Province, his skill level rose to the game level with each each innings played.
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. He 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.[1]
Warriors
Ingram currently plays for the Chevrolet Warriors in the domestic cricket league. He participated in the 2010 Champions League Twenty20, scoring well and helping his team to the final.
