Brett Nolan Schultz (born 26 August 1970) is a former South African cricketer who played in nine Test matches and one One Day International between 1992 and 1997. During the course of his career, he also played for Eastern Province, Western Province and Gauteng.

Schultz’s fast-paced left-handed bowling caused major problems for both right- and left-handed batsmen, evidenced by the 20 wickets which fell in the three-Test series against Sri Lanka in 1993-94, his debut tour.

Described in 2013 by the Indian Express as "one of the most intimidating opponents in world cricket",[1] Schultz made his mark on the world stage despite his career being plagued by injury.

While he only lasted nine Tests, the "Bear", as he was aptly named for his menacing demeanour on field, added excitement and character to the cricket pitch and an air of tension for batsmen and fans alike whenever he thundered towards the bowling crease.

Following his cricketing career, and after a stint as owner of All Bar None on Bree Street, Cape Town, Schultz turned to business. He is now a Director at short-term insurance specialists, Econorisk Broker Consultants, an independent South African-based risk management and short-term insurance business.

Shultz is also ambassador for the Sasfin Bank Cape Town Cricket Sixes, alongside Allan Donald, JP Duminy and Meyrick Pringle. The event, the biggest sixes tournament in Africa, takes place at The Western Province Cricket Club and aims to raise money for underprivileged children.

Schultz now resides in Cape Town with his wife Georgina and daughter Skye.
