David Wiese

[15] Following his knock, he was tipped to succeed veteran allrounder Jacques Kallis in the limited overs format and to fill in the void left by Lance Klusener.

[16] He was also subsequently included in the South African T20I squad for the tour of Sri Lanka in 2013 based on his batting prowess and also as an injury cover for Jacques Kallis.

[17][18] He also received wide attention during the 2016–17 CSA T20 Challenge as a few reports claimed that he delivered 173.8 kph in a match against the Knights.

[27][28] Wiese left Sussex in 2020 after featuring in four county seasons for the club as his Kolpak registration expired following Britain's exit from the European Union.

[31][32][33] In December 2021, he was picked by Colombo Stars as a replacement player for Haris Sohail during the 2021 Lanka Premier League.

[36] However, he was soon dropped from the national team and he was sent to play domestic cricket after modest returns in the three match T20I series against Sri Lanka.

[39][40] On 9 January 2017, Wiese signed a Kolpak deal with Sussex which made him ineligible to represent South Africa anymore, ending his international career.

[41][42] In August 2021, head coach of the Namibian cricket team Pierre de Bruyn confirmed that Wiese would be available to represent Namibia at the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

[47][48][49] He was a key member of the Namibian outfit which reached Super 12 stage in their historic campaign at the 2021 ICC World Twenty20 competition.

[50][51][52] He ended the tournament on a high note with an all-round display scoring 227 runs at a healthy decent batting average of 45.40 and picking up 6 wickets in 8 matches.

[58] On 15 June 2024, he announced his retirement from international cricket following Namibia's last group stage fixture against defending champions England on 15 June 2024 at the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, where he played a crucial innings of 27 runs in only 12 balls in a tricky run chase.
