“When I received the news about my first contract, I almost rolled my bakkie,” said Brits.

“Firstly, I am very grateful. I am blessed to have that contract. It’s something that you work for long towards and it actually paid off, so it’s bit of a reward if I can put it that way and I am definitely thankful for it.

“Since getting the contract, my work ethic hasn’t dropped, it has actually raised my game. I am a lot more excited; you want to do better to possibly maintain that contract.”

The 31-year-old Brits has played 12 ODIs and T20Is. Spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba is the also new to the contract list.
