Career

Stander moved to Scotland from his native South Africa in 2003. He began playing for Aberdeenshire Cricket Club that year, and remained with the club until 2006.{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES2/articles/000050/005085.shtml |title=Scots turn to Stander in World Cup quest |first=Harry |last=Pincott |publisher=Cricket Europe |date=3 February 2009 |accessdate=1 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125235148/http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES2/articles/000050/005085.shtml |archivedate=25 January 2010 }} By 2007 Stander was a cricket development officer for the Grampian region. Early that year he coached Scotland Under-15s on their tour of South Africa.{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES/articles/000046/004661.shtml |title=Late changes for Scotland A |publisher=Cricket Europe |first=Jon |last=Coates |date=30 May 2007 |accessdate=1 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090819075711/http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES/articles/000046/004661.shtml |archivedate=19 August 2009 }} For the 2007 season Stander moved to Stoneywood-Dyce; by 2008 he was the club's captain and led them to promotion in the Lloyds TSB Scotland League Division 1. By virtue of residing in the country for four years, in October 2008 Stander became eligible to represent Scotland at international level.

Three months after qualifying, he was called into the national squad for the first time; he was the only uncapped played in Scotland's 15-man squad for the 2009 World Cup Qualifier hosted by South Africa in April. It was felt that Stander's experience of South African conditions would be useful. His selection sparked debate about the state of Scottish cricket as some coaches were concerned that players born in the country were not being given enough opportunities. At the time, 3 of the 15 players in the squad were born outside Scotland. Stander brushed off the criticism, saying "I don't mind because I thrive under pressure. People have strong opinions on foreign players turning out for other countries, but if you love the game, you do all that's possible to play at the highest level."{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES2/articles/000051/005142.shtml |title=Jan stands up to be counted |publisher=Cricket Europe |date=15 February 2009 |accessdate=1 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303223206/http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES2/articles/000051/005142.shtml |archivedate= 3 March 2016 }} During the tournament, on 1 April Stander made his ODI debut against Ireland.{{cite web |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/211/211217.html |title=a19683 o2830 Ireland v Scotland: ICC World Cup Qualifier 2008/09 (Group A) |publisher=CricketArchive |accessdate=1 October 2011}} Scotland had a poor tournament,{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/iccwcq2009/content/story/399981.html |title=Bermuda the only blight |work=ESPNcricinfo |first=Will |last=Luke |date=20 April 2009 |accessdate=1 October 2011}} finishing in the top six of the tournament, which was enough to retain the team's ODI status but not to qualify for the 2011 World Cup.{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/iccwcq2009/content/story/400393.html |title=Ireland take trophy, Afghans the headlines |work=ESPNcricinfo |first=Will |last=Luke |date=20 April 2009 |accessdate=1 October 2011}} In ten matches Stander scored 213 runs, making him Scotland's fourth-highest run-scorer in the tournament (the top three all scored more than 350),{{cite web |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/iccwcq2009/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=4896;type=tournament |title=ICC World Cup Qualifiers, 2009 / Records / Most runs |work=ESPNcricinfo |accessdate=1 October 2011}} and was the team's third-highest wicket-taker with 13 dismissals.{{cite web |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/iccwcq2009/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=4896;type=tournament |title=ICC World Cup Qualifiers, 2009 / Records / Most wickets |work=ESPNcricinfo |accessdate=1 October 2011}}
