Cricket Career

Van Heerden’s professional cricket career was brief, marked by a single first-class appearance. Playing for Border in the 1974–75 season, he contributed to the team’s roster at a time when South Africa’s domestic leagues were the primary competitive platforms for players, due to the country's exclusion from international cricket during apartheid.
