Interestingly, Corbin Bosch has a 26-year-old younger brother, Eathan Bosch, who has been making quite a bit of noise on the domestic circuit. The duo will now face off in the upcoming SA20 2025 season, with Corbin representing MI Cape Town and Eathan a loyal custodian for the Pretoria Capitals.

Cricket in the genes

Not just his elder brother Corbin, Ethan also gets his cricketing genes from his father Tertius Bosch. Tetrius represented South Africa in two ODIs and a single Test after the rainbow nation’s first reinstatement against the West Indies in 1992. Corbin and Eathan’s father was also named South Africa’s Cricketer of the Year in 1991.

A promising talent growing rapidly

Eathan Bosch, a bowling all-rounder like his brother Corbin, has represented his home province, as well as his Dolphins franchise, in 40 first-class matches since his debut in 2017.

He owns a bowling average of 26.94 in the format, having claimed 100 wickets, while he has also proven to be a useful batsman, scoring a century and seven fifties on his way to 1,070 runs at 21.83.

Bosch also played for his country at Under-19 level, appearing in two youth Tests and two youth ODIs.

In the shorter format too, Eathan has made a notable impact. In the SA20, he plays for Pretoria Capitals and has been with them since the start of the tournament in 2023.

Eathan has been impressive in both SA20 seasons, taking 21 wickets at a bowling strike rate of 20.1 and amassing 142 runs in 15 innings. He has also plied his trade in the T20 Blast, playing for Essex.

Why can South Africa offer Eathan Bosch a debut in the near future?

While the Proteas have always boasted one of the most lethal and intimidating fast bowling attacks in the world, managing the workload of the pacers is equally difficult given that they are extremely injury prone. Added to that, with players playing an increasing number of games with each passing year, it is of utmost importance to maintain good depth in the team and be able to rotate players. This is where Eathan Bosch can come in handy.

He is an all-rounder and can provide the team with a solid pace option when required. Furthermore, he can also be a useful lower order batsman who can score some quick runs. Given Eathan’s tremendous versatility and promise, he may very well be in the process of debuting in the near future across all formats if he can keep up the good work.
