Sunrisers Eastern Cape skipper Aiden Markram said the break over the festive period did him good and he was raring to go when the Betway SA20 gets under way on Tuesday.
The event kicks off with a Western Cape derby between MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals at Newlands on Tuesday, before the Orange Army host the Pretoria Capitals in Gqeberha on Thursday .
“We have quite a young group, so hopefully we can bring that exuberance of youth to the forefront and play some entertaining cricket. Markram said, after a busy year of international cricket before he was axed for the tour of Australia, he was grateful to be able to spend the festive period with his family and friends.“In terms of leadership, it has been a while since I captained a team, so I am looking forward to that.
“I can also tap into the knowledge of our management, who are quite experienced, as well as get some new ideas from the younger guys.
