Obed McCoy, who withdrew from the top-tier league due to an injury, will be replaced by Paul Stirling.
Ireland veteran batter Paul Stirling is set to play for Paarl Royals for the remainder of the SA20 season. This follows the withdrawal of Obed McCoy from the top-tier league due to an injury.
Stirling, 32, will be available for selection for the franchise’s final group phase match against Pretoria Capitals on Tuesday, January 7. The Paarl Royals confirmed the new signing via their official Twitter handle, replacing the injured McCoy.
Stirling recently finished his ILT20 campaign in Dubai, where his team, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, failed to make the play-offs. The Irish talisman accumulated 168 runs in the six innings he appeared in during their forgettable debut season.
Stirling previously played for Paarl Rocks in the Mzansi Super League Twenty20 and has extensive experience playing on the African continent. In T20Is for Ireland, the veteran batter has amassed 3181 runs in 120 innings, with his highest score being an unbeaten 115 runs against Zimbabwe in 2021.
