Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Forced to remodel his action a year later, Engelbrecht found himself cut from the roster altogether in 2016 and elected to pursue a career in business, which would eventually take him to the Netherlands and prove an unexpected route to international cricket. Having spent a season in Holland with HBS Craeyenhout in 2015, Engelbrecht returned permanently five years later to take up a position with investment firm (and Netherlands sponsor) Fairtree. Joining Voorburg CC, he went on to lead the club to their first national championship in 22 years in 2022. By then already caught the eye of national selectors, and was called up to the A side immediately upon fulfilling the residence criteria for Netherlands eligibility. Scoring 150 runs without being dismissed in a two match series against Guernsey was enough to earn him selection to the senior side, joining the squad just ahead of the 2023 World Cup.
A capable bat against spin with the ability to clear the ropes and above all experience in India, Engelbrecht ticks a lot of boxes where the Netherlands are otherwise lacking. Though he has bowled little even in domestic cricket since coming back from a shoulder operation in 2021, he remains an outstanding fielder and all-round asset for his adopted country.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
He stole the spotlight with a stunning two-handed, diving catch at point during the 2008 Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia - headlined on Youtube as 'the Best ever catch in cricket history' - but allrounder Sybrand Engelbrecht has struggled to take his sensational fielding into other aspects of his game. The bulk of his career has been spent trying to become a franchise regular at Cape Cobras, where he often has to settle for a place in the provincial side instead.
Engelbrecht is a stylish right-hander who has spent time working on his power game as much as his staying power at the crease. He is also a handy offpsinner. He holds a first-class average of just under 40, but most of his runs were scored in South Africa's second-tier competition, including his 214* against Namibia.
He has had opportunities at higher levels though. In the 2014 Champions League T20, he was a late replacement to Cobras squad and played a starring role when he defended 11 runs in a Super Over to secure a win over Barbados Tridents.
In December 2015, Engelbrecht was cited for a suspect bowling action which was declared illegal. By January 2016, he had reworked his action and tests showed he had corrected it sufficiently to bowl again.
He was, however, was cut from the Cobras' contract list for the 2016-17 season. Engelbrecht opted to stay at the Western Province provincial team in the hope of earning his franchise place back.
