South African U17 team that played in the Cubs week.
Who is your cricketing hero and why is he your hero? My father, Makhaya Ntini, he is an ex
Proteas player and he has inspirational to me to watch when I was growing up.
He is very supportive and when he is able to he flies to South African from
Zimbabwe, where he is coaching, so watch my games. I also love watching Virat
Kohli, I love his attitude and the way that he plays.
Do you have a non-cricket hero and why have you chosen
this person? My coach Guy October, I changed schools last
year and he helped me fit into the new schools and encouraged me to improve my play.
What do you think makes a hero? I believe that a hero
needs to be humble and he needs to help other players. I try to live by this
rule, I have given my number our to other players that I have either played
against or with and sometimes they call me for advice or they can call me to
vent their frustrations, I make sure that I have always got time to talk to
these guys. I have learned a lot of lessons from my father and I am more than
willing to pass those lessons on to other players.
What are you expecting from this year’s tournament? I do not want to put too much pressure on myself. I
want to do everything that I can to help my team win all their matches.
What are your cricketing highlights for 2017 so far? I have had a decent season, since I changed schools I battled
a little initially but thank to my coach I fitted in quickly and my play
improved. I played for the South African U19 team against the West Indies and
now I am playing against England and Namibia. This season I have two
performances that have stood out, 48* in the Cubs week and 4/56 against the
West Indies.
