South African pacers Anrich Nortje and Migael Pretorius have signed a deal with the Capitals for the CSA T20 league slated to be played in January next year. Nortje already features for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the last three editions, the 28-year-old has scalped 43 wickets for DC. 

Pretorius has been playing in South African domestic cricket since 2015. In 38 T20 appearances, he has bagged 54 wickets, with the best figures of 4/32. 



Parth Jindal, owner of Pretoria Capitals, expressed his delight 

"Anrich Nortje has been an integral part of the growth and success of Delhi Capitals. So when we decided to expand our cricketing footprint to his country, he was always going to be an automatic choice for us. I believe Anrich will bring to Pretoria Capitals the same kind of fiery performances and off-field calmness we’ve seen him display at DC," said Jindal. 

"I’d also like to welcome Migael Pretorius, who boasts of an impressive domestic track record, to our Capitals family.”
