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 represented English side Leicestershire CCC in the 2007 and 2008 seasons as a Kolpak player and performed well in leading a young bowling attack. Kruger was due to play county cricket for Leicestershire a few seasons ago but had to withdraw due to injury. He has decided not to return for the 2009 season because he is concerned about the workload of playing domestic cricket all year around.

In the past Kruger has been heavily critical on SA Cricket [ [http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/southafrica/content/current/story/309117.html Cricinfo - Garnett Kruger joins South Africa exodus ] ]
