Proteas batter Aiden Markram bracing for World Cup pressure cooker BraMahlatse
In 2014, the wide-eyed Markram led a talented South African U19 side to their maiden and only ICC U19 World Cup glory after they defeated Pakistan in the final that was played in Dubai.
The other players in the Proteas squad to have won the junior World Cup in 2014 are frontline fast bowler Kagiso Rabada and all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo, who is a travelling standby player. Markram, who was named the player of the tournament at the U19 World Cup in 2014, said the players must be able to perform to acceptable levels under constant pressure to deliver results.
“At U19 level there isn’t too much of that, there wasn’t too much media exposure and a lot less pressure to bring the trophy back home. You experience the same type of things but it is a little bit exaggerated at the senior World Cup, whether it is in T20 or 50 overs.”
