Dane Leeroy Piedt (born 6 March 1990) is a South African cricketer. He played for the Cape Cobras. He made his Test cricket debut for South Africa against Zimbabwe in August 2014.[1] In March 2020, Piedt announced his retirement from cricket in South Africa, and later moved to the United States. But in December 2023 he received a Test recall for the New Zealand series.
Piedt, like many of his other Cape Cobras' team-mates, made his first-class debut for the Western Province cricket team. Primarily an off-spin bowler, Piedt is also a useful lower-order batsman. Piedt signed with the Cape Cobras in 2011. In August 2017, he was named in Jo'burg Giants' squad for the first season of the T20 Global League.[2] However, in October 2017, Cricket South Africa initially postponed the tournament until November 2018, with it being cancelled soon after.[3]
In June 2018, he was named in the squad for the Cape Cobras team for the 2018–19 season.[4] In October 2018, he was named in Cape Town Blitz's squad for the first edition of the Mzansi Super League T20 tournament.[5] [6] In January 2019, in the 2018–19 CSA 4-Day Franchise Series, he scored his maiden century in first-class cricket.[7] He was the leading wicket-taker in the 2018–19 CSA 4-Day Franchise Series, with 54 dismissals in ten matches.[8]
In August 2019, he was named the Four-day franchise Series Cricketer of the Season at Cricket South Africa's annual award ceremony.[9]
In March 2020, Piedt announced that he would be moving from South Africa to the United States, so he could meet the criteria to play for the United States cricket team.[10] [11] In June 2021, he was selected to take part in the Minor League Cricket tournament in the United States following the players' draft.[12]
In 2023, Piedt became part of the inaugural Major League Cricket competition, being signed to play for Washington Freedom.
