Grove Anton Venter (born 14 April 1993) is a South African first-class cricketer who plays as a wicket-keeper/batsman for the KwaZulu-Natal provincial side. He made his debut for the team against Griqualand West on 29 September 2013 in the CSA Provincial One-Day Competition; he took one catch to dismiss Kagiso Mohale off the bowling of Daryn Dupavillon and was unbeaten on 5 runs as KwaZulu-Natal recorded a three-wicket victory.[1] His first-class debut came 11 days later against Namibia; he took two catches for the first two Namibian wickets, but scored just one run in each innings as Namibia won by an innings and 94 runs.[2] His top scores in both List A and first-class cricket came in successive games, first scoring 54 not out in a 129-run victory over Easterns in the one-day competition on 24 November 2013,[3] before hitting 26 in the first innings of a drawn match against North West on 12–14 December 2013.[4]
Before breaking into the KwaZulu-Natal senior side, Venter spent a season with St Asaph in the North Wales Premier Cricket League, scoring 900 runs in 18 innings at an average of 60.00 with a high score of 155 not out at home to Northop on 26 May 2012.[5][6]
