Johan van Dyk is a promising seam bowling all-rounder playing for the Knights in South African domestic cricket.
Whilst he's had an intermittent career to date, his exploits over the past few seasons have ensured he's regularly featured in red-ball cricket, in particular and courtesy of his success, has featured for both the South African A and Emerging Players sides in recent years.
His recent season tally's of 12 wickets at 19.91 (2017/18), 18 wickets at 16.38 (2018/19), 13 wickets at 18.53 (2019/20), 11 wickets at 33.36 (2021/22), 15 wickets at 16.13 (2022/23), and 33 wickets at 19.75 (2023/24) have taken his overall first-class tally to 123 poles at 19.62 with 8 five-wicket bags, and 2 ten-wicket match hauls (both taken last summer, namely 10-70 (v Mpumalanga) and 10-123 (v Limpopo).
Van Dyk has also weighed in with notable contributions with the bat, with a highest first-class score of 58 and an average of 15.25. He also scored a notable 41, from 159-balls for South Africa A, against their Indian counterparts in December 2023, before taking the wicket of the talented Sarfaraz Khan.
The quick has long regarded as a player of serious promise. He represented Free State through the age groups and starred in two Coke Weeks, where he averaged 18 (2011/12) and 20.20 (2012/13) with the ball. In September 2014, he represented South Africa Emerging Players at the Africa Cricket Association Cup before excelling for the University of Free State in the Varsity Competition (December 2014). He continued to shine for the University in the Red Bull Campus and National Club Championships before his final match in April 2017.
In a view to continuing his development, he traveled abroad in 2019 to play for Home Counties Premier League side Thame Town. He enjoyed a productive season taking 35 wickets at 17.74, in what is a strong standard of league cricket. The South African quick was quick to put pen to paper in order to return to Thame again in 2020 before COVID stuck.
Having been unable to travel over the past few years, and fresh of his 9-for (4-46, 5-28) v Boland (Oct 2024), Van Dyk is now eager to secure a stint abroad in 2025.
