Ottniel Baartman joins Aiden Markram
The Port Elizabeth-based franchise had earlier signed Aiden Markram at the time of unrevealing the name of their new franchise. Markram played for SRH, where he scored 381 runs from 14 games during the IPL 2022 season. He was one of the high-profile signings made by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Indian Premier League (IPL) and has now followed his footsteps in the new CSA T20 League.
Ottniel Baartman is regarded as one of the best death-overs specialists and was part of the U-19 set-up in the past. In a CSA Provincial T20 Cup challenge last year, Baartman scalped four wickets for 20 and helped his side reach to the quarterfinals of the competition.
