The Boys are back in town, The Boys are back in town! Catch IOLsport boss JohnGoliath82 chat to cricket writers ZaahierAdams and shockerhess about the return of international cricket to South Africa.

Having played during the heart of the epidemic back home, England captain Eoin Morgan is certainly fully aware of the responsibilities on the players’ shoulders. While sport may always have placed itself in the leisure and amusement spectrum, the motive to entertain the cricket-starved public watching at home on their couches instead of inside the stadium is even greater now.

“Given how bad the circumstances, how bad they still are, particularly at home, it’s important for us to go out there and hopefully put on a bit of a show. Because it’s certainly a lot of different challenges at this moment in time but certainly sport can help relieve that a little bit.” “It’s a fresh start. The guys are keen to play. It’s been a while since we’ve played for the Proteas. The guys are keen to change what’s been going on around cricket. We’re the leaders and we’ll try to lead from the front. The guys are keen to get going.”

Furthermore, the skipper wasn’t open to discuss who his much-debated opening partner would be at Newlands, although the smart money is on Temba Bavuma to resume his partnership upfront with De Kock, leaving the promising Janneman Malan on the sidelines.
