Born in Pietermaritzburg, Sarel Erwee is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler who plays for KwaZulu Natal. With a first-class best of 200*, Erwee who looks pretty young, made his debut in 2008. In the Provincial Three-Day Challenge match at Durban, Erwee scored 8 runs in his debut innings but didn't get a chance to bat in the second innings as day 3 of that match was washed out due to rain. The top-order batsman would have wished for a better start to his career but he did make the most out of the opportunities that were presented to him thereafter.
