The franchise will hope that players like Dewald Brevis help them get to the upper half of the points table.
After languishing in the bottom half of the points table in the Men’s edition of The Hundred for the last three seasons, London Spirit have announced some star signings in their arsenal, the biggest of which happens to be South Africa youngster Dewald Brevis.
Though the performance of the franchise in the Women’s edition of the tournament has been promising lately, London Spirit have also announced Marizanne Kapp as their signing ahead of the 2026 edition. As a result, the franchise has completed the quota for players ahead of the auction in eight direct signings.
English all-rounders Liam Livingstone and Jamie Overton featured on their signings list, which the London Spirit management completed with the additions of Dewald Brevis and Adam Zampa. Additionally, Protea star Marizanne Kapp has been added to the company of Mahika Gaur, Charlie Dean and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Grace Harris.
Out of the eight players, Charlie Dean, Grace Harris and Jamie Overton represented the franchise in the last edition as well. The other five players will be featuring in the London Spirit gear for the first time in their careers.
Dewald Brevis, on the team list of any franchise in the world can be a magnificent fit, provided its the white-ball format. Having said that, the South African youngster will be given the responsibility to control the middle-order for the London Spirit in 2026.
At 22, Brevis has already represented five franchise teams all over the world, and his roster is only expected to expand with time. He has made an impact at the international level as well, and is expected to be one of the most promising white-ball stars for the future.
For the 2026 season, Brevis can be a crucial part of the franchise alongside Liam Livingstone, who can destruct bowling orders at will. However, one of the most important tasks for the franchise would be to lookout for quality players in the auction, which is expected to take place in March 2026.
With Jamie Overton and Adam Zampa as the two other signings, the management will be happy to have acquired a quality spinner and all-rounder much before the auction.
