Former Knights batsman Andries Gous has left the Seattle Thunderbolts for the Dallas Mustangs ahead of the 2023 edition of Minor League Cricket in the United States of America.
Gous and the Thunderbolts won last year’s Minor League Cricket Championship.
“Champion on the move. Former Seattle Thunderbolts player Andries Gous will play for the Dallas Mustangs this season. Gous was a top run-scorer for the Thunderbolts in the 2022 MiLC, helping to lead the team to championship victory,” read a statement from Minor League Cricket.
Gous played alongside Proteas batsman David Miller and England all-rounder Moeen Ali for Samp Army in the Abu Dhabi T10 in late 2022.
He has been signed by Washington Freedom for the inaugural edition of Major League Cricket in Texas later this year.
Gous played first-class cricket in South Africa for eight years before relocating to the USA in 2021.
“You get a three-year deal here in the States. If you are contracted by Major League Cricket, which I am, then you are guaranteed a spot in a Major League Cricket squad. It doesn’t guarantee you will play, but you will be in the squad,” he told Club Cricket SA at the time.
“There is stability in the States and this move is for me and my family. It’s important to have this stability for us.”
