Player of the Match
George Linde | South Africa
It’s obviously awesome to be part of such a talented group of cricketers. I’m really enjoying being in this squad and I’m looking forward to the World Cup, especially going to India – it’s a huge privilege and I can’t wait. Having a month of T20 cricket has sharpened me up, and after getting a few days off, the body feels refreshed and ready for what’s coming.
