Hi, I would just like to get your thoughts on South African cricketers playing overseas.
In England in recent years we have seen their two best batsmen, Strauss and Pietersen, as well as Jonothon Trott all born in South Africa come through and make an impact for them. From my experiences in playing ICC i have noticed quite a few counties have one or two players that are SA but have decided to go and live in ENG.
In NZ, Grant Elliot has come through and shone for us at the CT. As a follower of NZ domestic cricket Canterbury's captain Kruger van Wyk is frmm SA. One of our best domestic bowlers last season Neil Wagner is also from SA.
I just want to no your thoughts on why these cricketers all end up going overseas and why their talent can't be recognized in SA.
I don't really follow SA domestic cricket but is it a case of them having a very poor youth system and domestic system which has forced these cricketers to play overseas.
Your thoughts on why their talent can't be recognized in SA and is it right for these cricketers to go play overseas?
