The Proteas’ commitment to turning the tide and returning to winning ways fills us with pride and hope as we cast our eyes towards the entirety of their campaign in the West Indies”.
Mr Richards insisted that every milestone achieved by the team is to be celebrated as it would inspire them to aspire for more.
“I call on all South Africans to rally behind the Proteas and support their spirited vow to make us proud,” concluded Mr Richards.
CSA Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr Pholetsi Moseki, said, “It is indeed a pleasing sentiment to witness the superb progression of the touring party. This win is an affirmation that Cricket South Africa has indeed turned the corner and we look forward to many other achievements on and off the field. Equally, we are confident that this is the beginning of many positive to come.”
“I accordingly congratulate the Proteas and its management on gifting South Africans with a taste of great things to come”.
