“Wayne is busy with physiotherapy, and hopefully, he’ll be ready during the course of the One-Day Cup depending on his availability and how he responds,” Nackerdien said. “He is very much keen and committed to Western Province, and a key player in the squad. That is the reason why Kyle is taking over – to create continuity with the team, [with the One-Day Cup] starting in two weeks’ time.
“I know Kyle will do an outstanding job for the team. He is currently gelling nicely with the squad, adding to the environment we’ve created over the past two or three seasons.”
Western Province won one and lost two of the T20s in which Verreynne led last season, and won two of the seven four-day matches. As captain in those first-class games, Verreynne averaged 59.44 while hitting one century and four half-centuries.
“I am really excited; we have a nice bunch of guys this year,” he said. “Western Province means a lot to me, so to be able to captain this side and lead this year is massive, and I’m really looking forward to it… Something I’m big on is just having fun and making sure we enjoy our cricket. So throughout the season that is going to be the message from me.”
