Nandre Burger
About
Having started playing provincial cricket in 2015-16, Nandre has made steady progress and has gone on to play for Highveld Lions as well. Nandre also finished on top of the bowling charts in 2017-18 provincial one day cup which is the second tier list-A tourney in South Africa.
Despite decent performances, his career looked like it was heading towards domestic oblivion with the South African pace unit hardly needing any new faces with Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje ruling the roost.
