North West have appointed all-rounder Wihan Lubbe captain for the 2024-25 domestic season in South Africa.
North West were captained by all-rounder Senuran Muthusamy and wicketkeeper-batsman Heino Kuhn last season. Muthusamy has since moved to the Warriors and Kuhn retired.
Lubbe is captaining North West in the ongoing T20 Challenge. He will captain them in the One-Day Cup and 4-Day Domestic Series, too.
“We are proud to announce the captain of the Dragons, Wihan Lubbe – a true embodiment of fiery determination, leadership and skill on the field,” read a statement from North West.
“With a passion for the game that ignites the spirit of his team-mates, he combines tactical acumen with a fierce competitive edge.
“Known for his calm demeanour under pressure, he has a remarkable ability to inspire and unite his team, pushing them to reach new heights. His experience, both as a player and a strategist, has been instrumental in the Dragons’ recent successes.”
Lubbe has been capped twice in international cricket. He played two T20Is for South Africa in 2021.
