Markram, who was one of the six captains to engage the media in Cape Town on Saturday, wants to see this youthful side put all their skills on display during the month-long competition. Markram said after a busy year of international cricket, he is grateful to be able to spend the festive period with family and friends.“In terms of leadership, it has been a while since I captained a team, so I am looking forward to that.
“If we can balance those two things, we can get on the right path and play some good cricket,” Markram said. “We have World Cup-winning captains Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler, who we are privileged to have with their experience, with a very experienced coach and a lot of exciting young players.“But once the first game kicks off and the tournament is under way, guys will fall into line, find the rhythm of the team,” he said.
