Born on the 22nd of December, 2001, in the cricket-loving nation of Zimbabwe, Gregory Liebenberg's journey towards cricketing brilliance began on the dusty fields of Harare. From a young age, his innate talent for batsmanship was evident, coupled with a remarkable flair for versatile bowling. His early forays into cricket saw him living and breathing the game, often mimicking his childhood idols with a wooden bat in hand and a wild imagination that starved for international stardom.

Emerging through the ranks of local cricket, Gregory's prowess as an allrounder became clear. His right-hand batting was a spectacle of technical finesse and powerful stroke play, complemented by his ability to adapt his bowling to fit the match situation. He was equally adept at seam and spin bowling, an extremely rare skill set that set him apart. This versatility made him a crucial component in every team he was part of, thriving under pressure when both the bat and the ball were called into action.

Gregory's professional debut was a milestone etched in the memories of many—a local league match that saw him deliver a stunning performance both with the bat and the ball.

His career has been punctuated by intense rivalries, notably against South Africa and Bangladesh, where personal milestones and team triumphs have gone hand-in-hand. Many remember his match-winning century against Bangladesh, scored under the challenging conditions of a low-scoring pitch, a knock peppered with grit and elegance. Equally riveting was his ability to dismantle formidable batting line-ups with deceptive variations and impeccable line and length, traits that defined his bowling style.

Off the field, Gregory has often been lauded for his humility and dedication to the sport.
