The Nashua Cape Cobras have announced the signing of South African all-rounder Robin Peterson, and he will make his debut in an Indian Premier League warm-up match against reigning champions the Rajasthan Royals.
Peterson has played 35 One Day Internationals, six Tests and five Twenty20 Internationals for the Proteas.
Nashua Cape Cobras coach Shukri Conrad said: “We are extremely pleased to be signing a player of Robin Peterson’s calibre, experience and attitude. He is successful and talented in all forms of the game and we look forward to him turning-out in the blue and gold of the Nashua Cape Cobras.”
CEO Andre Odendaal added: “We are making an investment in an experienced three-in-one player who will make the current Pro20 champions even stronger in this area, and we see Robin following in the mould of pros like Alan Dawson, Adam Bacher, Charl Langeveldt and Claude Henderson who have come through for us at key times in tight situations in the past few seasons.”
The Cobras are the reigning Standard Bank Pro20 champions in South Africa and the match against the Royals on Saturday has been billed as the 'clash of the champions'.
