Former South Africa: Former South Africa fast-bowling great Allan Donald has thrown his weight behind rising quick Gerald Coetzee, highlighting the youngster’s resilience and growth after years of injury struggles, while expressing confidence in his return to top-level cricket.

Donald, who first spotted Coetzee as a schoolboy in Bloemfontein, recalled his initial impression of the pacer and how early signs of promise quickly stood out.

"It was the first half of 2018, and I was in a consultancy role with the Knights - the domestic professional team in Bloemfontein - and I was called by a guy by the name of Gregg Hobson, who (was) the Director of Cricket at St Andrew's (now deputy headmaster) to come and have a look at this kid," Donald told SA20.
