Brothers Ryan Klein (T.14) and Kyle Klein (B.18) attended Wrekin as exchange students from Rondebosch Boys High School, South Africa. 

Ryan has played for the Netherlands national cricket team since 2021 and this year was part of the World Cup team. He is a right-arm, fast-medium bowler. Kyle has also represented the Netherlandsas part of the national under-19 cricket team at the 2019 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup Europe Qualifier.

Perhaps we could entice them back next year to play in the OWA vs the School cricket match?!
