Former Protea cricketer Jacques Kallis and his wife Charlene have welcomed their first child.

Jacques broke the news of their newborns arrival on Instagram on Wednesday, writing: "Welcome to the world Joshua Henry Kallis. Most incredible day of both our lives. Hearts exploding with love. Truly blessed."

Messages of congratulations have flooded the comment section of the post, including well wishes from Kevin Pietersen, Shane Warne and Neels van Jaarsveld.
