Exclusive Sa20 The Turning Point In My Career, Says Dolphins Pace Sensation Tristan Luus

Barely two years ago, Tristan Luus was dealing with the heartbreak of missing out on a place in the South Africa U19 squad set to participate in the ICC U19 World Cup on home soil.

It was a bitter pill to swallow after the Waterkloof learner had dominated the Cricket SA Cubs Week for Northerns where he topped the bowling charts by claiming two five-fors in Stellenbosch.

But as fate would have it, Luus was eventually called up as injury replacement and went on to star alongside Kwena Maphaka with the new ball as the Junior Proteas rode the wave of passionate home support all the way to the semi-finals.

Luus performances did not go unnoticed this time and he was rewarded with his first professional contract at the Dolphins before being signed up as MI Cape Towns rookie at the Betway SA20 auction.

Fast forward, and Luus, still only 19 years old, is a double championship winner after helping both MI Cape Town to their inaugural SA20 title and the Dolphins to the Cricket SA 1-Day Cup.
