Sunrisers Eastern Cape brings Zak Crawley and Roelof van der Merwe on board for SA20 2025

Meanwhile, van der Merwe will return to his former team after playing for them in the first season. In the 2023 season, the 39-year-old did not contribute significantly with the bat, scoring just 24 runs at an average of 24. However, he was a key bowler for the team taking 20 wickets including a remarkable spell of 6/20 against Durban’s Super Giants. Van der Merwe was particularly impactful in the final of the SA20 2023 at the Wanderers, where he took 4 wickets against the Pretoria Capitals earning the Player-of-the-Match award.
