Malcolm Nofal (born 18 September 1991) is a South African cricketer.[1] He made his first-class debut for Gauteng in the 2010–11 CSA Provincial Three-Day Challenge on 28 October 2010[2] and played for the South Africa Under-19s at the 2010 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.[3]

In January 2018, he scored his first century in List A cricket, while playing for Wellington in the 2017–18 Ford Trophy in New Zealand.[4][5] In March 2018, he scored his maiden century in first-class cricket, batting for Wellington in the 2017–18 Plunket Shield season.[6] He went on to score 179 runs before being dismissed.[7] In June 2018, he was awarded a contract with Wellington for the 2018–19 season.[8]

Nofal emigrated to Wellington, New Zealand in 2015 after finding it too difficult to break through in South African cricket.[3] However, he returned to South Africa in 2020,[9] and signed to play in the Leinster League in Ireland for the 2022 season.[10]
