Somerset have announced the return of South African all-rounder Migael Pretorius in 2025 and say he is “expected to be available for the duration of the season”.

Pretorius, 29, featured in eight County Championship matches for Somerset last summer, scoring 324 runs and taking 23 wickets.

“I really enjoyed my time at Somerset in 2024 and I’m looking forward to joining up with the team again this summer,” Pretorius said.

“There’s a really positive atmosphere around the club and I was impressed by the level of support that the players get at every game, both home and away.

“The team came so close to winning a trophy last year and hopefully I can help Somerset to get over the line in 2025.”
