“I am excited to join the North West Dragons team – it’s a team that has been doing well in the past few seasons, competing for trophies,” Forrester told OFM.

“My parents are in Pretoria and the ground at North West has a very good wicket – I experienced that during the One-Day Cup. There are a lot of players at North West that I look up to – and hopefully I can learn a lot from them. It’s great to be joining this special team.”
