Olivier really isn’t wrong about how England allows him more room for improvement.
Some might say it’s water under the bridge, but Duanne Olivier this week again had to defend his decision to ditch the Proteas in favour of a Kolpak agreement with English county Yorkshire.
“It’s not for the money. It’s about where I wanted to go and what I wanted to achieve in my life,” the lanky quick told the broadcasting giant. “Cricketing-wise, I feel there are a lot more opportunities over here. I feel like I can improve my cricket.” A crisis of confidence meant his showing in 2017/18 wasn’t great – 19 wickets at 34 in six games – but it was still good enough to put him among the top 20 bowlers in that campaign.
