“We have some quality local players, the best of South Africa, and some outstanding international players that have come now.

Seeing people in the stands having a great time and enjoying the atmosphere. The feedback we get is when that people tune into the TV, they see a happy South Africa, summer, filled stadiums, and incredible cricket.”
