About Me.

I'm Merrick Brett, a South African cricketer currently playing for The Titans in Pretoria. As a right-arm fast bowler and right-handed batsman, I bring an all-rounder's edge to the game. My passion for cricket started young, and by 19, I have proudly represented my school, province, and country.

Cricket is more than a sport—it's a lifelong commitment. I'm driven by hard work, discipline, and a constant desire to improve. Whether delivering pace with the ball or contributing runs with the bat, I always aim to give my best.

Off the field, I'm a humble and grounded person who values time with family and friends. Their support keeps me focused on what truly matters.

As my journey continues, I remain dedicated to growing in the game, inspiring future cricketers, and giving my all for my team.

Merrick is a passionate and commited coach who takes a holistic approach to player development - focusing not only on technique, but also on the mental aspects and match strategies of the game. My son thoroughly enjoys his sessions with Merrick, and the improvement across all areas of his game has been remarkable. I can recommend him without hesitation.

"A coach ignites not just skill, but a lifelong love for the game." We met Merrick Brett by chance in 2023, shortly after moving into the area. Since then, he has become a pivotal mentor to my son, Thomas, carefully engineering his journey to become a true all-rounder — both in skill and in character. Under Merrick's expert guidance, Thomas has not only developed exceptional cricketing abilities but has also embraced the values and spirit of the game. His achievements, including being awarded Player of the Season 2024 and Bowler of the Season 2025, are a testament to the outstanding coaching he has received. As a professional elite cricket player himself, Merrick brings a level of excellence and cutting-edge techniques that few can match. His training goes beyond the basics — teaching players how to read the game, develop a deep love for the sport, and uphold the highest standards of sportsmanship. At Brett Academy, it's about more than just skills. Merrick imparts not only his vast knowledge and experience but also his passion, inspiring players to grow in every aspect of their cricket journey. With the expansion of the Academy team, players are now spoiled for choice with an exceptional calibre of coaching staff and world-class facilities. Whether training outdoors in the nets or indoors, Thomas has had the opportunity to practice and refine his craft all year round. Being part of Brett Academy has been an incredible blessing to Thomas's cricket journey — and to us as a family.

"Coach Merrick has a knack for teaching technical cricket skills to young players in a way that's easy to understand. He takes time to patiently break down batting and bowling techniques into simple drills, that help players develop their skills quickly while still enjoying every practice session. Practicing at the Action Sports Arena also provides the advantage of being able to train regardless of the weather, preventing the letdown of canceled sessions from bad weather."

Uzziah has developed a love for cricket since he has started with the coaching. He loves the lessons and eagerly wants to implement and practice what he learns. Uzziah has learnt good technique which has given him the confidence to take part in matches. I will recommend Merrick to any young cricketer
