According to a release from MI Cape Town, Tim David is one of the most adaptable T20 players in all of cricket’s T20 leagues, a powerful hitter. “I am so excited to be here with MI Cape Town and join up with the MI family. Look forward to meeting all my new teammates, some familiar faces with the coaches and current teammates from Mumbai Indians. Can’t wait to start and looking forward,” Tim David was quoted by the team on Monday.
David, who has played in 14 T20 Internationals for Singapore, scored 558 runs at an average of 46.5 before joining Australia and being included in their team for the 2022 T20 World Cup. On September 20, 2022, he played his first T20 International for Australia against India.

David has played in the Big Bash League, Pakistan Super League, T20 Blast, and The Hundred in England and has a wealth of T20 cricket experience. David was chosen by Royal Challengers Bangalore in August 2021, and the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2022 auction in February.
The SA20 is now taking a week-long break. With a record of three victories and four defeats, MI Cape Town is ranked fifth overall in the six-team league’s points standings. Along with this, the team has also signed England pacer Henry Brookes to take Olly Stone’s place, who was unable to play. Stone is making a comeback after a critical back procedure intended to revive his desire to play in the Ashes.
He hopes to participate in the two-Test series against New Zealand starting next month. In June 2021, when he made his final Test appearance, he suffered his fourth back stress fracture. The procedure, which required inserting two screws into his lower spine, was his last-ditch effort to keep his Test career alive.
