If you are a cricket player, you would probably be aware that once you pass age, 30, then you would most likely have a lot of things you would need to sort out. Top of that list would most likely be your retirement plans. Another would be the list of things you have achieved. The truth is that no cricket player would like to be at that stage of their lives without having achieved all or a majority of things that were probably expected from them. However, for JP Duminy, this would hardly be his concern as he has achieved everything he set out to do and even more.

Born in 1984 and currently, 35, this south African player is at the very top of his career. First, he is the captain of his international side when it comes to T20 matches. He is also an all-rounder who manages to combine the art of spinning with bowling. He also still manages to play domestic cricket at this stage with his domestic club the cape cobras as he slowly winds down his career. However, try as he might have, he is now retired from the Test series with the intention of focusing his attention on other parts of his game while he still can.

It is not only in the game of cricket that he can be considered successful. Even in his personal life, he has surely held some milestones. One of them would be his marriage to Sue Duminy. He has also said that he feels very happy since he went back to being religious. His marriage with Sue has since been blessed with two very beautiful kids.

How His Career Started

To find out how it all began for Duminy, we would have to go back to 2003 when he was on tour with the under-19 team. After that, he would be privileged to make his debut in the Test series against Australia in their home after a player pulled out from the squad due to injury.

Playing in the World Cup would surely be quite memorable for him and he has quite the milestones to match up to these memories. For example, in 2011 during the Cricket World Cup. He was dismissed for 99 making him only the second to reach that score at the world cup. He did not end there as in 2015, he also made another record this time for his country. He became the very first South African in the history of the tournament to actually get a hattrick. That was such an incredible moment for him and one which he would surely cherish for a long time to come.

Conclusion

No doubt, he would surely have a lot to look back on and smile to himself. At 35, there is little that he can do to change what is already in the history books. However, you can be sure that he would be glad about what he has been able to do at his peak.
