Rossouw moved to England in 2017 to join Hampshire on a three-year contract, courtesy of a Kolpak deal. The 29-year-old has so far played in various T20 leagues across the globe, including the likes of Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL. Rossouw represented RCB in five IPL games and scored a total of 53 runs. His last IPL appearance was way back in 2015.

The former Proteas star went unsold in the 2019 IPL auction. He then proved everyone wrong with some scintillating performances in the recently concluded Bangladesh Premier League.

Playing for Rangpur Riders, Rossouw amassed a total of 558 runs in the tournament at an average of 69.75 and a strike rate of 150. He also scored a stunning hundred and five fifties in the tournament. Rossouw is currently playing in the Pakistan Super League for Quetta Gladiators.
