Harmers grateful to play Test cricket again
The Star
|November 27, 2025
PROTEAS spinner Simon Harmer showed gratitude to Test captain Temba Bavuma and coach Shukri Conrad for affording him the opportunity to play Test cricket again.
About seven to eight years ago, South African cricket found itself losing key talents to lucrative deals in the United Kingdom.
One of those talents was Simon Harmer, who signed a Kolpak deal with Essex, essentially ruling out the idea of playing international cricket for the duration of the contract.
Harmer signed the deal after being dropped from the Test squad in the 2015-16 season, as his hopes of playing Test cricket looked grim with spinners Dane Piedt and Keshav Maharaj having taken up space in the Proteas Test team at the time.
Harmer wasn't alone, as former Proteas fast bowlers Kyle Abbott and Duan Olivier, to name a few, also went the Kolpak route, as they looked to secure their financial future through the lucrative deals.
Following his Play of the Series award in India on Wednesday, Harmer went down memory lane, reflecting on the time he signed the Kolpak deal.
