Garnett John-Peter Kruger (born 5 January 1977 in Port Elizabeth, Cape Province, South Africa) is a cricketer. Kruger started his first-class cricket career in 1997-98 for Eastern Province B, moving up to the A team in 1999-2000. In 2003-04 he played for Gauteng, before moving to the Lions on the reorganisation of South African first-class cricket in 2004-05. Although he was called to the Test side in 2003-04, but did not make the final team. In 2005-06 he made his debut as an international cricketer, in the one-off Twenty20 International against Australia, and he also played in three One Day Internationals in the same tour.

Kruger joined English side Leicestershire CCC in the second half of the 2007 season as a Kolpak player and has performed pretty well. Kruger was due to play county cricket for Leicestershire a few seasons ago but had to withdraw due to injury.

Kruger later signed a long term Kolpak contract with Leicestershire making a heavily critical attack on SA Cricket as he left for England [1]
