The Really Grateful For The Opportunity To Work Again:-
“I had an amazing experience with the team in 2017 and I’m really grateful for the opportunity to work with this group again,” Adams said.
“There are some familiar faces who it is good to reconnect with, as well as some young players who I have previously worked with during New Zealand Cricket Talent Pathway programs.
“I am looking forward to returning to South Africa and hope to bring a lot to the group, and provide good support, especially to the faster players.”
Sawyer is looking forward to working with Adams once again and believes the veteran coach can provide some valuable insight to his group.
