Career

Viljoen was called up to the South African squad for the first time on the last day of 2015 as cover for Kyle Abbott.[2] He made his Test debut on 14 January 2016 against England,[3] taking the wicket of England captain Alastair Cook with his first ball in Test cricket, the 20th player to achieve this feat.[4]

Viljoen joined Kent County Cricket Club for a short spell in English county cricket in August 2016, playing in the final four matches of the 2016 County Championship season.[5] He made his County Championship debut on 23 August against Gloucestershire at Bristol, taking five wickets on the first day of the match.[6] At the end of the season Kent made a contract offer to Viljoen but were unwilling to match a more lucrative offer made by Derbyshire who signed the player on a three-year Kolpak contract in December 2016.[7] After playing for the county for two seasons the contract was terminated "by mutual consent"[8] in January 2019, with Viljoen signing in June to play for Kent in the 2019 t20 Blast.[9]

In December 2018, he was bought by the Kings XI Punjab in the player auction for the 2019 Indian Premier League.[10][11] In July 2019, he was selected to play for the Rotterdam Rhinos in the inaugural edition of the Euro T20 Slam cricket tournament.[12][13] However, the following month the tournament was cancelled.[14]

In September 2019, he was named in the squad for the Paarl Rocks team for the 2019 Mzansi Super League tournament.[15] In April 2021, he was named in Boland's squad, ahead of the 2021–22 cricket season in South Africa.[16] In July 2022, he was signed by the Jaffna Kings for the third edition of the Lanka Premier League.[17]
