Dawid Malan
His father, Dawid Malan Snr, represented Western Province B, Northern Transvaal B and Teddington, as a right-handed batter and a right-arm fast-medium bowler.[8] His brother, Charl Malan, also played first-class cricket for Loughborough MCCU, whilst his sister, Liné, was an international field hockey player for South Africa.[10] Malan is a left-handed batter and occasional leg-spin bowler who originally represented Boland in South Africa (2005/2006 season) and the MCC Young Cricketers in 2006.He joined Middlesex on 7 July 2006 and made his first XI debut in a Twenty20 Cup tie versus Surrey at The Oval on the same day.[13] Malan played List-A domestic cricket for Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club in the Dhaka Premier League of Bangladesh for two seasons from 2013 to 2015, contributing with both bat and ball.In August 2020, in the third round of matches in the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy, Malan scored his maiden double century in first-class cricket, with 219 runs.[24] Malan continued his good form in T20Is on the tour, adding another three half-centuries in the four games he played in the Trans-Tasman Tri-Series, though this was not enough to see him keep his place in the team once rested players were recalled during the following English summer.[28] He played in all six of England's T20Is against Pakistan and Australia in the summer of 2020, scoring 213 runs, with his performances moving him to first position in the ICC T20I batter rankings in September 2020.[29] His good form in the format continued on the winter tour to South Africa, where two 'Player of the Match' performances of 55 and 99 not out in the second and third T20Is saw him reach the highest ever rating (915 points) in the ICC rankings.[43] Writing in Wisden Cricket Monthly, however, Laurence Booth commented that Malan deserved to be remembered for how "exhilarating he could be once he got into the groove".
