Old Grey Cricket Club seamer Olivier Elenbaas took a seven-wicket haul in the Eastern Province Cricket premier league this month.
Elenbaas completed figures of seven for eight in 7.4 overs in a 301-run victory over United Cricket Club.
Elenbaas, who is from the Netherlands and has represented the country at under-19 level, is Old Grey Cricket Club’s nominated overseas player for the 2025-26 Eastern Province Cricket premier league season.

“Olivier produced extraordinary figures – an exhibition of skill, control and sustained pressure,” Old Grey Cricket Club committee representative Ryan McLean told Club Cricket SA.
“Beyond the numbers, Olivier has added immense value as a mentor and coach, bringing international experience that has lifted players across the club.
“He has also fully embraced the Old Grey culture, strengthening the camaraderie and unity that define the team. A world-class performance from a world-class cricketer.”
Earlier this year, Proteas batsman Tristan Stubbs played for Old Grey Cricket Club against Gelvandale Cricket Club in the Eastern Province Cricket T20 premier league.
“To have professional cricketers Jean du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs don the Old Grey colours was an incredible privilege,” said McLean at the time.
“Their presence on the field was not only a boost for our team, but a powerful reminder of the strength and unity within our club culture.”
