Former Proteas, Cape Cobras and Northamptonshire batsman Richard Levi will play for the Phokara Rhinos again in the Everest Premier League.
Levi has represented the Rhinos previously in the EPL. This year’s edition will also be played in Nepal, from 25 September to 9 October.
“Our South African hard-hitting batsman has arrived in Nepal. He has scored incredible runs in T20 cricket. Levi, who likes to score runs on the leg-side, will make Pokhara Rhinos’ game more aggressive,” read a brief statement from the franchise.
