His career took a significant turn when he moved from the Knights to the Titans. The switch paid off quickly: in the 2016-17 Sunfoil Series, the four-day competition that sits at the top of the South African domestic game, he finished as the leading wicket-taker for his new side. That haul helped earn him a place with the Cape Town Knight Riders when the Global T20 League staged its first edition.
Across 78 first-class matches he has collected 188 wickets, a body of work that underlines his reliability with the red ball. His returns in Twenty20 cricket have been more modest by comparison, although his selection for a franchise in the shortest format suggests that his ability is recognised beyond the four-day arena.
