Topley was snapped by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the recently-concluded 2023 IPL Player Auction. Durban Super Giants will play their first match against the Joburg Super Kings on January 11.

Topley, coming back from an injury during the World Cup, was excited to get back to action but cautious at the same time, “Obviously having not played for a long time since literally just before the start of the World Cup.

Naturally, it’s going to be a bit of a progression, it’s going to be small steps, but at least, you know, I’ll be playing, and I will be looking to fine-tune in skills during this opportunity over the next two months or so.

Not just this competition obviously. But obviously, you want to get ready to hit the ground running when you touch down in India.”

“I had a welcome message from Faf, played against him a lot and really looking forward to play under him. He’s a fierce competitor. But now it’s nice to have a change and have him on my side once,” Topley said on his interaction with the Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper.

At the SA20, he will join the likes of Quinton de Kock, Jason Holder, Akila Dananjaya, Keshav Maharaj and other top international names in the Durban Super Giants squad. The lanky 6ft 7 left-arm pacer has played 22 T20Is for his national side and picked up as many wickets.
