Q. People usually write autobiographies at the end of their careers. Why did you write yours now?

While I was playing for South Africa, I never had the time to write a book or felt it was something I wanted to do. Then Covid came and we had a lot of time. I went through the journals I had kept over the years and the notes I had made on team culture and leadership, and felt there was something of value I could get across in a book. I thought it would take about a year but it became two-and-a-half years.
