Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Ackermann’s international debut for the Dutch came ahead of the 2019 T20 World Cup Qualifier, making his first appearance in orange against Ireland at a pentangular warm-up tournament in Oman ahead of the Qualifier. At the tournament itself in the UAE Ackermann played a key role in helping the Dutch win the trophy, scoring 163 runs at an average over 40 while his offspin went for less than a run-a-ball. While his County commitments have at times limited his availability for the Netherlands during the northern Summer, Ackermann is nonetheless a firm feature of the top order in both formats when available. A levelled-headed presence in the field and a dependable performer with the bat, he was vice-captain to Pieter Seelaar at the 2021 T20 World Cup and made his ODI debut a month later against his native South Africa in the opening match of the Netherlands' covid-interrupted Super League tour. Though Ackermann featured in just seven of the Netherlands 26 Super League fixtures, an assured 81 against Afghanistan away his best showing to date, he has been a more regular fixture in the shorter format. Despite missing the 2022 T20 Qualifiers he would return for the 2022 T20 World Cup, memorably top-scoring with 41* in the famous victory over South Africa that secured the Dutch direct qualification for the 2024 edition.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Having relinquished his South African qualification to sign a contract with Leicestershire, taking advantage of an EU passport, Colin Ackermann was part of the late-2010s exodus that rocked cricket in his home country. Although less heralded at the time, Ackermann was a former South Africa U-19 who had topped the Sunfoil averages in 2016-17, and might have been in contention for a Test call-up had he not taken the well-trodden English county route.
His returns in county cricket were mostly solid rather than spectacular, and when he did grab the headlines it was with his occasional offspin - figures of 7 for 18 in a T20 Blast game against Birmingham Bears making him the first man to take a seven-wicket haul in the format. He captained the T20 team in his first season at Leicestershire, taking on the job full-time the following year, and in 2019 stepped up to lead the 50-over side; as well as topping the run charts in both limited-overs formats. The following summer he was unveiled as club captain, a sign of his growing importance to the county, and in 2022 he made history as his career-best 277 not out helped Leicestershire to their highest first-class score, 756 for 4 dec, and a Championship-record fifth-wicket stand of 477 with Wiaan Mulder (235 not out)
Ackermann had previous experience in the county of Leicestershire after enjoying a successful season for Kibworth in 2012. He is a product of Grey High School in Port Elizabeth, with whom he toured England. He was the leading run-scorer in the CSA Under-19 three-day competition in 2009, where he averaged 200 with two centuries.
However, when his international debut did arrive in late 2019, it was in the orange of Netherlands, and he went on to help secure qualification for both the 2020 T20 World Cup (postponed to 2021) and the subsequent event in Australia in 2022, at which his unbeaten 41 was instrumental in one of the biggest shocks of the tournament's history, as his former countrymen South Africa were eliminated in a 13-run defeat in Adelaide.
