He had been practising with Avendale Cricket Club, but later voiced intention to stay at Strandfontein Cricket Club.

Gilliland was recently named among the Western Province academy intake for 2020-21.

He would have been the only WPCA first division B member among an academy squad lined with premier league and first division A talent, had September’s decision to join Avendale Cricket Club not been reversed in October.

Strandfontein Cricket Club spent one season in the WPCA premier league before returning to the 2020-21 first division A.

The start of the 2020-21 WPCA club cricket season has been delayed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
