Royal Dutch Cricket Association: Shortly after Netherlands’ campaign in the 2024 T20 World Cup ended with an 83-run defeat to Sri Lanka, Sybrand Engelbrecht has announced his retirement from international cricket, said the Royal Dutch Cricket Association in a statement.

Engelbrecht, born in Johannesburg in South Africa in 1988, had made his international debut for the Netherlands in 2023 at the age of 35. He did play in the 2008 Men’s U19 World Cup for South Africa, where he took a blinder of a catch to dismiss a young Virat Kohli in Jonty Rhodes-style.

After that tournament, Engelbrecht went on to represent the Cape Cobras from 2008/09 to 2015/16) and Western Province (2009/10 to 2016/17) in all three formats of South Africa’s domestic cricket circuit.
