Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming is hopeful South African star Dewald Brevis will feature in their fixture against Delhi Capitals on Saturday.
Ottneil Baartman, Corbin Bosch, Matthew Breetzke and Dewald Brevis have earned maiden national contracts after Cricket South Africa announced the list ahead of the 2026-2027 season.
West Indies captain Shai Hope knows first hand about the danger that Proteas batter Dewald Brevis will pose to his team in the three-match T20I series that kicks off in Paarl on Tuesday.
Dewald Brevis powered to a 38-ball 75 against Sunrisers Eastern Cape to lead Pretoria Capitals to the final of the SA20, booking them a ticket to Newlands this coming Sunday with a seven-wicket win.
Dewald Brevis says he will not put himself under pressure ahead of the SA20, and will try as much as possible to just enjoy his game.
Dewald Brevis has been ruled out of the Proteas' three-match ODI series in Pakistan, that starts in Faisalabad on Tuesday, after suffering a low-grade shoulder muscle strain.
