dewald brevis Legendary South African pacer Allan Donald has hailed Dewald Brevis’s decision to play domestic cricket, calling it the best thing that could have happened to the young batting sensation ahead of the upcoming SA20 2026 season.
Donald believes that returning to the domestic circuit will help Brevis mature as a player and gain valuable experience facing top-quality local bowlers. “Playing domestic cricket grounds you — it builds temperament and consistency,” Donald said in a recent interview.
The 21-year-old, often dubbed as “Baby AB” for his aggressive batting style, became the most expensive player at the SA20 auction, drawing massive attention. Donald, however, emphasized that Brevis’s long-term success lies in mastering the fundamentals through first-class and List A cricket.
With Brevis set to represent the MI Cape Town franchise in the SA20, fans are eager to see whether his domestic performances can translate into tournament dominance.
