First class, domestic & club cricket

[edit]

Ingram struggled for a 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 skills increased with each innings played.[citation needed]

Ingram is among the brightest talent produced by the Eastern Cape in recent years.[citation needed][when?]In 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 inColomboin the first match of a triangular series that also involved Sri Lanka A.[3]

It was announced on 21 November 2014 that Ingram had signed a three-year contract with Glamorgan as aKolpak playersubject to clearance from Cricket South Africa, the ECB and him obtaining a visa.[4]He had a very successful one day season with Glamorgan in 2015 scoring 405 runs in 8 matches at an average of 81 including three centuries and one 50.[5]His Championship season was steady rather than spectacular as he scored 931 runs at 37.24 with two centuries and four 50s.[6]

Ingram was named Glamorgan's player of the season in 2024 after scoring 2,001 runs across all three formats.[7][8]He signed a new two-year contract with the club in October 2024.[7][9]

He scored 93, 106 not out and 90 not out consecutively. The 90 was made in a thrilling South African domestic one day record-breaking run chase against Lions in a match that was played in Buffalo Park, East London.
