A wicket-keeper batsman, Second is said to be in the reckoning for future South African honours. A versatile cricketer, Second bats at the top of the order and is safe behind it as well. With an average that's in the high forties, Second seems to be ready - either as Quinton de Kock's deputy as a keeper or as an opening batsman in an already fragmented South African batting line-up.

Second has come through the ranks and is a constant feature in various South Africa 'A' teams and is highly regarded for his consistency. He finished the 2016-17 domestic season with 684 runs, the second highest run-scorer for the Knights. He was signed up by the Cape Town Knight Riders for the first edition of Global T20 league.
