Andrew Birch

Andrew Birch had cricket in his blood. His grandfather had played cricket for the Borders in the 1940s and his brother Colin Borch also had trysts with franchise cricket. And Andrew grew up doing the same and metamorphosed into a bowling all-rounder.

With more than 300 first-class wickets and 2000 runs, Birch is one of the pillars of the Warriors team at the first-class and list-A level. Birch has topped the bowling charts for them at a regular basis and even was the leading wicket-taker for the 2012-13 season in the domestic one day competition.

His exploits with the bat and the ball had first attracted Nelson Mandela Bay Stars for the now defunct league but then Tshwane Spartans bought his services for the 2018 MSL T20.
