Pretoria Capitals have signed English white-ball specialist Will Smeed for Betway SA20 Season 3.

Despite being only 22-years-old, the Somerset-born youngster has committed to excelling only in limited-overs cricket.

He certainly has shown the potential by becoming the first batter to score a century in The Hundred competition in 2022.

Smeed smashed an undefeated 101 from 50 balls for Birmingham Phoenix against the Southern Brave.

He has since gained experience playing in the Caribbean Premier League, Pakistan Super League, Bangladesh Premier League, ILT20 and Abu Dhabi T10.

Overall, Smeed has played 98 T20Is, scored 2484 runs, at an average of 26.70, and strike-rate of 152.57.

Incidentally, he has only featured in one List A game thus far for the England Lions against the touring South Africans (which included his new teammate Anrich Nortje), in 2022.

SMEED STATS & FACTS

T20s: 98 | Runs: 2484 | Strike rate: 152.57 | 100s: 1 | 50s: 16 | Highest score: 101*
