About

Player story

A zippy action modelled after a certain Dale Steyn coupled with 6’3 frame and an ability to consistently clock upwards of 145kph, Gerald Coetzee has all the elements needed to become a fast-bowling legend. A tearaway quick who has the skill to swing the new ball and extract uncomfortable bounce due to his height, Coetzee rose through the ranks quite rapidly and was fast-tracked into South Africa’s setup across all three formats. Playing age-group cricket, Coetzee was unusually quick for his age and was always the quickest bowler amongst his peers. He was picked for South Africa’s U-19 team aged just 16 and went to play a pivotal role in South Africa’s 2018 U-19 World Cup campaign, picking 8 wickets from 4 games including a fifer against New Zealand. Later that year, he made his List-A and T20 debuts for Free State. In 2019, Coetzee made his First Class debut for the Knights, completely bypassing the second-tier provincial system. In 2020, he played his second U-19 World Cup for South Africa. It wasn’t long before Coetzee started receiving offers from T20 franchises. The first came from the Rajasthan Royals in 2021 when they signed Coetzee as a replacement for an injured Liam Livingstone. He also featured in the inaugural edition of the MLC and played for the Texas Super Kings. His maiden international call-up came in 2022 when he was added to South Africa’s squad for their tours of England and Ireland. He was also included in South Africa’s squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup but his international debut wouldn’t come until February 2023 when he was given a Test cap during a tour to the West Indies. ODI and T20I caps duly followed and Coetzee, sporting an action fashioned after Dale Steyn and a head-band that would make Stuart Broad proud, established himself in a top-notch quartet of South African fast bowlers.
