Kirsten named batting consultant
PORT ELIZABETH, Aug 2: Former South Africa opener Gary Kirsten has been appointed as a batting consultant for the Warriors for the upcoming season.
Kirsten will aid coach Russell Domingo and his assistant, Piet Botha.
“I've worked a lot with Gary at batting camps and we've got a good rapport,” said Domingo. “It says much for the faith he has in our franchise that a player of Kirsten's stature is prepared to come.”
Kirsten is expected in Port Elizabeth for pre-season training in September. He said: “I am delighted to be part of the Warriors and hope that I can play a role in ensuring that the players are prepared for the season ahead.”
“Gary brings with him an enormous amount of experience and wisdom,” Dave Emslie, the CEO of Cricket Eastern Cape, added.—Agencies
