RILEE ROSSOUW

Rilee Rossouw, a stylish top-order batsman with an elegant and authoritative drive, proved himself as a high-impact batsman for South Africa in limited-overs formats before opting for a Kolpak deal in English county cricket at Hampshire.

Rossouw departed on the same day as his team-mate Kyle Abbott, but it was Rossouw who suffered the ire of South Africa’s coach Russell Domingo, who had his four ducks in his first six ODI innings in mind when he said: “We backed him when he made five noughts”, adding of his early failures: “If that had been a player of colour, everyone would have said transformation.”
