Titans on signing Sisanda Magala: We feel he is underrated

Sisanda Magala TitansSisanda Magala.

Proteas fast bowler Sisanda Magala has joined the Titans for South Africa’s 2024-25 domestic season.

Magala previously played for the Lions, but not since October 2023.

He has been capped eight times in ODI cricket and six times in T20I competition since debuting for the Proteas in 2021.

“We’re pleased about Sisanda. We’ve offered him a one-year contract with incentives,” Titans chief executive officer Jacques Faul told Rapport.

“He’s an intelligent white-ball cricketer with a good yorker and a good slower ball. We feel he’s underrated.”

Phehlukwayo joins Titans, too

The Titans have also signed Proteas all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo.

Phehlukwayo was previously with the Dolphins – and recently returned to Cricket South Africa’s list of contracted players.

He has not been included in South Africa’s squad for next month’s T20 World Cup in the United States of America and Caribbean.

Van der Merwe returns to Titans

Meanwhile, former Proteas all-rounder Roelof van der Merwe has returned to the Titans as well.

Van der Merwe has not played for the Titans since 2015. He has been playing international cricket for the Netherlands since 2015 – and county cricket in England.

In 2023, he played for the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the inaugural edition of the SA20.

Van der Merwe is among a select group of cricketers who have played ODI and T20I cricket for two countries.
