About Carl Cachopa

  • Carl Cachopa (born 17 May 1986) is a South African-born New Zealand cricketer who plays domestically for Auckland (and previously also for Central Districts).
  • He was born in Bloemfontein, in what is now South Africa's Free State province, and represented the Free State cricket team at under-15 level.
  • His family emigrated to New Zealand in 2002, and he and two younger brothers, Brad (born 1988) and Craig Cachopa (born 1992), have each since played first-class cricket in New Zealand.
  • A right-handed batsman who also bowls occasional right-arm medium pace, Carl Cachopa debuted for the Auckland under-19s at the age of 16, during the 2002–03 National Under-19 Tournament, and made his senior debut late in the 2004–05 season of the State Championship, aged 18.
  • The following season, when the West Indies toured, he was used as a substitute fielder during the first Test, and took a catch off the bowling of Shane Bond to dismiss Brian Lara.After the 2006–07 season, Cachopa left New Zealand to play grade cricket in South Australia, which precipitated a single appearance for the state's second XI in the Cricket Australia Cup.
  • He returned to New Zealand for the 2010–11 season, signing with Central Districts.
  • Good form during the 2012–13 Plunket Shield season, including a career-high 179 not out against Auckland, led to Cachopa's selection for New Zealand A on a tour of India in August and September 2013, which included matches against India A and Sri Lanka A.
  • Cachopa returned to Auckland for the 2014–15 season, and will play alongside his younger brother, Brad, a wicket-keeper who switched from Canterbury.
