Experienced quick bowler, Naveen Ul-Haq, also arrives to join squad

 Thursday, 18 January 2024: Australian World Cup winner, Marcus Stoinis, has joined Durban’s Super Giants (DSG) for the remainder of the Betway SA20. The destructive all-rounder replaces West Indian Nicholas Pooran, bolstering the in-form DSG squad who are currently second on the table with three wins out of three.

The 34-year-old Perth native is a veteran of 127 international matches across formats for Australia, and a further 250 T20 matches worth of experience.

Stoinis also plays for Indian Premier League outfit Lucknow Super Giants, the affiliate of Durban’s Super Giants.

Afghanistan’s Naveen-ul-Haq has also linked up with the DSG squad ahead of the their enormous clash against Pretoria Capitals on Thursday evening. Ul-Haq comes in for Richard Gleeson, bringing with him his vast global T20 experience.

Commenting on the recent faces, Betway SA20 League Commissioner Graeme Smith said: “We’ve had an action-packed start to the opening week of Season 2 with some high-quality cricket and entertainment on display. We can see the teams pulling out every the stops and bringing in some world-class players into their squads, it’s noteworthy to gain the calibre of these players joining the League.”

Vintcent van der Bijl (born 1948) – 13 internationals, 24.83 average, 50 high score, 61 wickets, 20.20 average, 5-25 best, four five-wicket innings: At the time of his retirement in the early ’80s, he was the most prolific bowler in South African domestic cricket. He topped the annual Currie Cup wicket tally for about a decade. Broken down to a five-Test series, he would have grabbed 23-24 wickets per series. He had outstanding consistency. He had the same imposing physique and bowling style as the Windies’ Joel Garner. His high batting average is courtesy of ten not outs in 16 innings.

  1. The historic first rugby match was a contest between England and Scotland, marking the beginning of international competition in the sport. Scotland emerged as the victors in this inaugural game.

  2. Bails, the horizontal pegs that sit on top of the stumps, are not attached to the top surface. Instead, they rest on shallow grooves on the free ends of the stumps. Bails are critical for determining if the wicket has been place down or broken. This in turn will succor identify the status of the batsman, if he has been race out, out bowled, or stumped.
