Brother of Sean Ervine, Craig Ervine, hails from a family with strong cricketing roots - his father and uncle both played First-Class cricket and his younger brother Ryan has turned out for the Southern Rocks franchise.
Spells with English clubs Bexhill and Lordhood, and a spell with Irish club Lisburn in Belfast ensured that he got sufficient match practice and he returned to Zimbabwe, and signed up for the Southern Rocks. He was their leading run-scorer with 575 runs at 33.82 and topped their ODI run charts as well.
