Kirk Ogilvy Wernars (born 14 June 1991) is a South African cricketer. Wernars is a left-handed batsman who bowls right-arm fast-medium. He was born at Cape Town, Cape Province.

Early career in South Africa

Before making his senior debut at any level, Wernars was selected to play for

2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup which was held in New Zealand in January 2010,[3] with Wernars making six appearances during the tournament.[2] taking 8 wickets at an average of 31.25, with best figures of 3/42.[4] With the bat, he scored 31 runs with a high score of 21 not out.[5]

Wernars later made his senior debut in March 2010 for

Gauteng, where he took figures of 6/27.[8]

Move to England

Wernars signed for English county side

2011 Friends Life t20 against Middlesex at Lord's, and Somerset at the County Ground, Taunton.[11] Following his first season with Sussex, he signed a two-year deal to keep him at Sussex until 2013.[12]

Sussex were invited by the

Netherlands (also invited as an overseas team), Jamaica, Combined Campuses and Colleges, and Barbados.[11] He had little success with the bat during the tournament, scoring just 13 runs in four innings.[14] Wernars has spent much of the 2012 season playing for the Sussex Second XI, but he has played a single first-class match against the touring West Indians at Hove.[7] His first County Championship appearance of 2012 came against Durham at Arundel Castle Cricket Ground.[7] His first List A appearance of 2012 came against Northamptonshire in the 2012 Clydesdale Bank 40, with him making four further appearances in that season's competition, including featuring in the semi-final loss to Hampshire.[6]
