Ryan Canning

Ryan Canning (born 22 February 1984 in Cape Town) is a South African cricketer. He plays for Western Cape Province as a wicket-keeper batsman.[1] 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.

Biography

Canning grew up in Edgemead, Cape Town, and played cricket for Pinelands Cricket Club.[2] He was then signed by the Cape Cobras as a prospect. He featured in a few games in the Supersport series in October 2010, and scored a half-century against the Highveld Lions. At the end of the 2009 season, the Cobras signed Dane Vilas – another wicket-keeper batsman – and Canning was subsequently released from his contract.[3]
