Castle Lager Proteas batsman, Temba Bavuma, hopes his maiden Test century in the current Sunfoil Test match against England at PPC Newlands will inspire many upcoming young cricketers dreaming to represent South Africa. The 25-year-old says he understands the bigger picture that his innings will paint for the next generation of black African cricketers and hopes it will pave the way for others hoping to follow in his footsteps. The rousing reception from the Newlands crowd added the extra sheen to an already flawless performance, which Bavuma described as ‘satisfying’ considering the amount of work he has put in behind the scenes. Despite the challenges in India and the struggles in the first Test in Durban, Bavuma says he didn’t feel any added pressure to justify his selection in the team. The support from Russell Domingo and the rest of the management, along with thorough preparation, combined to give him the ideal platform to succeed.
