Bio

Roelof first played for Somerset in the 2010 T20 competition and he scored his highest score to date (89no) against Kent at Tunbridge Wells in his second match.

Rejoined the County in 2016 on a multi format contract.

Roelof has enjoyed success in each competition, but his most memorable innings was played against Surrey at Taunton in the 2017 Royal London Cup match when he came in at 22 for 5. He proceeded to guide his team to a memorable victory when scoring a brilliant 165no.

He also saw Somerset to an improbable victory in the T20 Blast match against Gloucestershire at Bristol in 2022.

Roelof has played domestic cricket in his native South Africa, as well as representing various teams in franchise cricket around the World. He has also played for London Spirit in “The Hundred”.

Roelof is a dual International having represented South Africa in 13 ODIs and 13 T20Is between 2009 – 2011.

In 2015 he obtained a Dutch Passport and he has subsequently played for the Netherlands in 3 ODIs and 36 T20Is including the 2022 T20 World Cup.
