Farhaan Behardien is a South African international cricketer who plays for ODIs and T20I. He also played for Nashua Titans. He made both his first-class and List-A cricket debuts in the 2004–05 season. Behardien is an aggressive right-handed batsman and a useful bowler, as well as an athletic fielder.
Emerging players tournament and Hong Kong sixes tournament
In July 2009, Behardien travelled to Australia for a three-week tour with the South African emerging squad.[2] He also represented South Africa at the 2009 Hong Kong Sixes tournament, where he hit a six of the final ball to lead South Africa to victory in the final against Hong Kong.[3]
In the first half of the 2009 season Behardian played as an overseas player for Bovey Tracey. He had a role as coach of their under-13 side.
International career
He made his T20I debut for South Africa against India in early 2012. He scored 20* from 11 deliveries faced. Behardien also earned himself a place in the South African squad for the 2012 ICC World Twenty20. However, Behardien proved to be a major flop in the tournament. Though he made 31* against Australia, he could not find the boundary when required and ended up with a tournament strike-rate of less than 100.
