Jade Winston Dernbach (born 3 March 1986) is a former professional South African born English Italian cricketer.[1] He represented Surrey (2003–2021), England (2011–2014) and Italy (2021).

He made his first-class debut in 2003 and won the NBC Denis Compton Award in 2004 and 2009. In 2021, Dernbach qualified to represent the Italy national cricket team.[2]

Born in South Africa and initially schooled at St John's College, Johannesburg, he moved to England at the age of 14 and gained British citizenship, making him eligible for the England cricket team. After impressing for the England Lions in the West Indies in the early part of 2011, he was called up to the senior team as a replacement for Ajmal Shahzad for the knock out stages of the 2011 Cricket World Cup[3] and made his Twenty20 and ODI debuts later that year against Sri Lanka. Dernbach made his international debut for Italy in October 2021.

Derek Pringle described him in The Daily Telegraph as a fast bowler who is capable of obtaining conventional and reverse swing, as well as of deceiving the batsman by bowling a variety of slower balls.[4]
