Badenhorst was born at Pretoria in South Africa in 1991, the son of a high-level tennis player.[1][2] His family moved to New Zealand in 2002 and Badencroft first played for Central Districts age-group teams in the 2007–08 season. He made his Hawke Cup debut for Manawatu in 2009–10 before making his first-class cricket debut for Central Districts in 2011–12.[3]
Over three season Badenhorst played 11 first-class and two List A matches primarily as a bowler for Central Districts before moving to play for Otago for the 2014–15 season.[3] Described as a "fringe player"[4] who was brought into the team following good batting performances for his club team,[5] Badenhorst played a further four first-class matches for the team as well as three Twenty20 matches in the Super Smash competition.[3] He played club cricket for Albion Cricket Club in Dunedin and played for club teams in England.[2][4]
An injury forced him to retire from top-level cricket and Badenhorst has since worked in the recruitment sector in Auckland.[2]
