When Dewald Brevis stepped onto the cricket field for his debut T20 International with South Africa against Australia, the excitement knew no bounds. Hashim Amla, the South African legend, proudly handed him his first cap.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, in Sri Lanka, Indian cricketers Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, both teammates of Brevis on the Mumbai Indians IPL squad, were in preparation for the Asia Cup 2023 clash between India and Pakistan.
