Johannes Gerhardus Myburgh (born 22 October 1980) is a South African cricketer who plays domestic cricket in England for Somerset County Cricket Club. A right-handed batsman and occasional off break bowler, Myburgh is also a talented fielder, and is the current holder of the record for the youngest scorer of a double-century in South African domestic cricket, breaking the record of Graeme Pollock in 1997 when aged 17. Though born in South Africa, he emigrated to New Zealand in 2007, where he planned to qualify for the national team. Myburgh has since abandoned his New Zealand ambitions and moved to the UK, where he has played for Hampshire and Durham. He joined his third English county, Somerset, in 2014.
Myburgh was born in Pretoria, along with his brother Stephan, who has played international cricket for the Netherlands. Myburgh made his first-class debut in 1997 for Northerns B. Myburgh played four Under-19 Test matches and seventeen Under-19 ODIs for South Africa, including all six of the team's matches during the 1998 World Cup, which took place in South Africa.
After two years playing for Northerns B, Myburgh was elevated to the full Northerns side for the 1999/00 season. On 7 January 2001, during a one-day game, he scored an opening partnership of 156 with Jacques Rudolph before being dismissed for 95. On 15 October 2004 he scored 102 against Easterns during a first class match, and on 9 January 2005 he scored 100* against Border. Myburgh first played for the Titans, the franchise formed from the merger of the Northerns and Easterns, in the 2004/05 season. Late in 2005, Myburgh scored 56* against the Warriors, and he became the Titans' leading run scorer in the Standard Bank Cup in 2005/06, hitting 237 runs in ten matches with a high score of 59*.
