Faghme Abrahams is a former South African cricketer, who played cricket during the apartheid-era. As a non-white player, he was restricted to playing in the Howa Bowl, which was not classified as first-class cricket at the time. The games were retrospectively given first-class status during the early 1990s.[1]

Abrahams played for Eastern Province between 1974 and 1987, appearing in at least 60 first-class matches.[2][lower-alpha 1] In the 1978–79 season, when Eastern Province won the Howa Cup, Abrahams was their leading run-scorer, accumulating 227 runs at an average of 25.22.[5] His highest score in first-class cricket was made in March 1978 against Transvaal, when he scored 86 runs in the second innings to help his side to victory.[6]
