Proteas braced for a clash with familiar foes
Cape Argus
|February 26, 2026
SOUTH African cricket has long been entranced with players from the Caribbean islands.
Their Calypso flair bringing fresh excitement to the local grounds.The journey began with the likes of Sylvester Clarke, Colin Croft, Collis King, Alvin Kallicharran, Franklyn Stephenson and Eldine Baptiste in a previous rebel era, before West Indies legends Desmond Haynes and Malcolm Marshall captivated local audiences with their unique talents during the 1990s.
Barbados duo Haynes and Marshall, in particular, left an indelible footprint on South African cricket beyond just their feats out on the field. Haynes was hugely influential in the mentoring of future Proteas stars Herschelle Gibbs and Jacques Kallis during their embryonic stages of their careers at Newlands, while Marshall guided the likes of Shaun Pollock and Lance Klusener at Kingsmead.
Just over a month ago the Betway SA20 Season 4 revived this affinity with an infusion of West Indian talent across the six teams. Reggae music dominated the playlist in the Pretoria Capitals changeroom with former T20 World Cup winner Andre Russell joined by Shai Hope, Sherfane Rutherford and Roston Chase.
