Hampshire have signed teenage South African wicketkeeper-batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius for their 2025 T20 Blast campaign.
The 18-year-old was the leading scorer in this year’s South African domestic T20 competition, the SA20, with 397 runs as he helped Paarl Royals reach the knockout stage.
The South Africa Under-19 international was also his country’s leading run scorer at the 2024 Under-19 World Cup with 287.
“Lhuan-dre impressed with his batting during the recent SA20 and played a number of eye-catching innings against some of the best bowlers in the world,” Hampshire director of cricket Giles White told the club website.
“He’s a special talent with a big future and we are delighted that he is joining us for this year’s Vitality Blast.”
