Leus du Plooy made his debut for Derbyshire in 2019 and created a favourable impression with hundreds – home and away – against Middlesex in the county championship and another against Australia A in a limited overs game.
In 2020 he played one of the great innings by a Derbyshire batsman when he made a sublime and inventive 130 against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.
Having played seventy games for Derbyshire he has already scored more than 2,500 runs.
