Worcestershire County Cricket Club are excited to announce the signing of all-rounder Beyers Swanepoel, on a one-year red-ball contract.<\/p>\n
Added to the squad ahead of the 2026 season, the 27-year-old South African will be available for the entirety of the Rothesay County Championship Division Two campaign.<\/p>\n
An experienced all-rounder, Swanepoel will add valuable depth to the Pears middle-order batting stocks, whilst also offering his skills as an effective right-arm seam bowler.<\/p>\n
Swanepoel joins the Pears after a two-year stint at rivals, Kent, but says he is excited to get started with his new challenge ahead of the forthcoming Division Two season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always enjoyed my time playing in England, and particularly the longer format of the game, so to be offered the opportunity to continue my red-ball journey at Worcestershire was one I was very keen on exploring.<\/p>\n
\u201cChampionship cricket is tough, but joining a group full of potential and targeting promotion to Division One is an exciting prospect.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a club with really big ambitions, so I can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a highest score of 188*, Swanepoel has a further seven first-class half-centuries and 189 wickets to his name during an impressive first-class career.<\/p>\n
Worcestershire Men\u2019s Head Coach Alan Richardson expressed his delight at securing Swanepoel\u2019s services.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are always looking to add to the quality within the group and by bringing in someone with the red-ball experience that Beyers possesses, we feel as though we have done just that.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a very accomplished all-round cricketer and will certainly add to our options with both bat and ball in four-day cricket.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone at the club is looking forward to welcoming him to Worcestershire.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 Worcestershire County Cricket Club are excited to announce the signing of all-rounder Beyers Swanepoel, on a one-year…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-322952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
