IPL: Kwena Now Has Opportunity To Showcase Skills At 'biggest Tournament On The Planet', Says Allan Donald
CSA T20 Challenge: A day after South Africa fast bowler Kwena Maphaka was drafted in by five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians as a replacement for injured Sri Lanka pacer Dilshan Madushanka, the legendary Allan Donald feels the 17-year-old has a golden opportunity to showcase his talent at the ‘biggest tournament on the planet’.
Maphaka, the left-arm pacer, caught everyone’s eye in the 2024 Under-19 World Cup in South Africa this year, taking the hosts’ to the semi-finals and was adjudged as Player of the Tournament with 21 wickets from six games at an average of 9.71 and economy rate of 3.81.
Maphaka had been reported to join MI as a support bowler for IPL 2024 after a few matches for his domestic side Lions, where Donald now works as a bowling coach, in the CSA T20 Challenge. But Madushanka’s hamstring injury meant he will now spend IPL 2024 with MI as a squad member.
