Hampshire have signed the exciting South African batter Dewald Brevis for their T20 Blast campaign next season. The 21-year-old has been turning heads ever since his phenomenal showing at the 2022 Under-19 World Cup. In round numbers, he tallied an incredible 506 runs in only six innings. His extraordinary achievement of two centuries and three fifties in succession on debut stamped Masood’s reputation as a potential world-class talent on the cricketing circuit.
The talented cricketer further made headlines for his astounding performances in some of the exclusive leagues across the globe. He’s had a stint with the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He’s played for MI New York in the Major League Cricket (MLC) as well as MI Cape Town. Brevis has further advertised his talents in the Caribbean Premier League and the Abu Dhabi T10. These experiences have had a profound impact on his international reach.
Brevis joins Hampshire during an exciting period in the clubs history as the team looks to continue their recent successes. To top it all off, last summer Hampshire were runners-up to rivals Surrey in the County Championships. With Brevis in on deck, he would have nowhere near the influence on the T20 Blast. Equally exciting is the possibility of him really making a name for himself in the County Championships.
“I’m hugely excited about joining Hampshire Hawks for the Vitality Blast this summer,” – Dewald Brevis
His eagerness is seconded by Hampshire as the two work to better their showing in future contests. Brevis will be joining his fellow Protea Lhuan-dre Pretorius at Hampshire. This partnership will strengthen their roster as they prepare for a highly competitive season to come.
“It’s great we have Lhuan-dre with us as well and hopefully we can put on a good show and entertain the crowd at Utilita Bowl on our way to reaching Finals Day and lifting the trophy.” – Dewald Brevis
Brevis’s inclusion in Hampshire heralds an exciting combination of youthful exuberance and international pedigree. By all accounts, his track record indicates he can become a major, major contributor in their championship hopes this season.
