Youngster South Africa Dewald Brevis will be joining Hampshire for the T20 Blast campaign and could also play in the County Championship.
Dewald Brevis impressed in the 2022 U-19 World Cup where he scored 506 runs with two centuries and three fifties in six innings.
He will be joining his fellow countryman Lhuan-dre Pretorious who Hampshire signed in February.
“I’m hugely excited about joining Hampshire Hawks for the Vitality Blast this summer,” Dewald Brevis said.
“The team has a great history in the competition, and I look forward to being a part of that.

“It’s great we have Lhuan-dre with us as well and hopefully we can put on a good show and entertain the crowd at Utilita Bowl on our way to reaching Finals Day and lifting the trophy.
“I’m also looking forward to playing in the County Championship, the team were so close last year, and I hope I can help the club push for the title in 2025.”
Dewald Brevis won his two T20I caps in 2023, and has made his name in franchise tournaments around the World, including playing in the IPL, CPL and MLC, as well as the SA20, where he was the sixth-highest run scorer with 291 at a strike rate of 184.17 helping MI Cape Town to their first title.
“Dewald is an exceptional young player who will add firepower to our batting line-up this summer. He will arrive having enjoyed good recent form, and alongside Lhuan-dre Pretorius we will have two young cricketers that are hungry to make their mark,” concluded Hampshire‘s director of cricket, Giles White.
