Craig Richard Ervine (born 19 August 1985 in Harare) is a Zimbabwean international cricketer. Ervine is a left-handed batsman who has impressed in the Zimbabwe domestic leagues.

Domestic career

Ervine has played for the Midlands cricket team in Zimbabwe and represented the Southern Rocks topping the batting averages in his maiden season.

In February 2010, Ervine signed for the Zimbabwean domestic circuit with Southern Rocks. On debut against the Mid West Rhinos, Ervine made a top score of 100; which is his highest in first-class cricket, and he averages over 50 in limited-overs cricket. He is a talented prospect for the relatively weak, but slowly improving, Zimbabwe batting line-up.

International career

on 2 August 2015, Ervine scored his first ODI century against New Zealand. The innings is the second best score for Zimbabwe in winning chases. He scored brilliant unbeaten 130 runs with 11 fours and 5 sixes, where Zimbabwe won the match by chasing 300+ score.[1]

Personal life

Ervine's brother, Sean Ervine has also played first-class cricket for Midlands, Southern Rocks, the Zimbabwe national cricket team and Hampshire.
