Date of birth: 12 May 1997, Pretoria, South Africa
Nottinghamshire First-Class debut: 29 August 2024 v Surrey
South African international wicketkeeper Verreynne first signed for Nottinghamshire on a short-term deal to cover three of the final four matches of the 2024 campaign, before agreeing a longer contract to cover almost the entire 2025 County Championship season.
He made his First-Class debut for Western Province in January 2015, still aged only 17, and after a run of five seasons out of six in which he consistently averaged above 50, including a stunning 2020-21 that saw him notch 680 runs at an average of 97.14, he received a Test call.
Verreynne first came to Trent Bridge three years after that, by which time he had increased the total number of runs he had scored in First-Class cricket to over 5,000, including more than 700 at Test level.
He struck 50 not out against champions Surrey in his first Nottinghamshire innings, and went on to total 248 runs across four visits to the crease, being dismissed just once, and signed off with a sumptuous unbeaten 148 against Warwickshire.
On the very same day he agreed a deal to return to the East Midlands for 2025, Verreynne hit an unbeaten Test century for South Africa on the way to a 109-run win, and subsequent 2-0 series whitewash, over Sri Lanka.
