The Texas Super Kings have signed Proteas batsman Donovan Ferreira for the 2025 edition of Major League Cricket in the United States of America.
Ferreira played for the Joburg Super Kings in the SA20 earlier this year – and is currently with the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League.
He has also represented Yorkshire in the T20 Blast and Oval Invincibles in The Hundred in the United Kingdom.
The Texas Super Kings have retained former Proteas batsman Faf du Plessis as captain.
Meanwhile, Proteas wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock has joined MI New York in MLC, USA. De Kock previously played for the Seattle Orcas.
De Kock, who has formally retired from ODI and Test cricket, but remains available for T20I selection, is currently playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.
MI New York have released South African trio Kagiso Rabada, Dewald Brevis and Anrich Nortje.
“Although it was a lovely run over the last two years, moments like these leave us with mixed feelings. While there is the happiness of MI New York retaining their core of players, there’s also the sadness of bidding goodbye to what was the lovely squad of 2024,” read a statement from MI New York.
Several other South Africans are involved in MLC, including batsmen Ryan Rickelton and Heinrich Klaasen – and all-rounder Marco Jansen.
With one title each, MI New York and Washington Freedom are the most successful teams in the history of MLC, which started in 2023.
