On Monday, August 14, Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced the ODI and T20I squads of the South Africa National Cricket Team for the upcoming home series against Australia National Cricket Team.

The 20-year-old batter Dewald Brevis has received his maiden call-up for the ODIs and T20Is against the Aussies. The talented batter had scored 506 runs in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2022 at an average of 84.33 and he finished as the highest run-getter in the marquee tournament to win the Player of the Tournament award.

Following his success in the ICC Under-19 World Cup, he was bought by Mumbai Indians (MI) for INR 3 crore at the Indian Premier League 2022 mega auction. He also represents the MI franchise in SA20 and ILT20.

Dewald Brevis has played just 12 games in First-class cricket and List-A cricket combined but the selectors have shown faith in his talent and have handed him a maiden call-up for a high-profile series.
