South African all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius has joined the Seattle Orcas for this month’s inaugural edition of Major League Cricket in the United States of America.
Pretorius, who retired from international cricket in January 2023, will join Proteas wicketkeeper-batsman Heinrich Klaasen at the Orcas.
Earlier this year, the Orcas confirmed the recruitment of Proteas opener Quinton de Kock and all-rounder Wayne Parnell.
