While a lot many influential cricketers were just recently playing the Major League Cricket or the MLC as we know it, the most popular form of franchise cricket in all of the United States, there are quite a few who are now busy in the Hundred, England’s most famous and noted franchise based tournament. With six teams and a gaggle of renowned talents from around the world such as Pakistan, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and of course, the host nation England, The Hundred endeavours to do to franchise cricket what the Big Bash League in Australia and what the Indian Premier League in India have been able to achieve. Which is box office style entertainment in the briefest format of the game at the franchise level.
And leagues like The Hundred,
you ought to think can do that for as long as they have talents like Dewald Brevis playing in the tournament. Playing for the famed London Spirit franchise in the 2026 edition of the men’s competition of The Hundred, Brevis signed with the team as an overseas player (reportedly for around £185,000) ahead of the season, marking his debut in the competition. London Spirit’s men’s squad includes players like Liam Livingstone (captain), Jonny Bairstow, Jamie Overton, Adam Zampa, and Lhuan-dre Pretorius.
He’s brought a fighting spirit in addition to his big blistering power hitting gameplay to enthrall the crowds with! And he served an avid example of just that as in his most recent contest played against the MI London side. In executing a brilliant and no look six, a dominant strike that reached over the ropes, not only did the South African right hander deliver a death knell of sorts to the bowler, he played a brave innings on his part as well.
No look but with all the hook for audiences
Striking 37 unbeaten runs off just 18 odd deliveries which included 3 sixes and as many fours, Brevis produced a wonderful cameo that took his London side successfully in pursuit of a target of 165, which wasn’t anyways a threatening ask.
At 23 with all the talent and age on his side, the white ball contest of the sport is pretty much Brevis’ oyster to explore. He can easily attack the best in the business and launch into attack mode that he often does and without breaking much of a sweat.
What’s more?
Brevis already has over 3400 T20 runs against his name.
