Who is next? Connor Esterhuizen, that is. On how he handled the pressure on his debut, Esterhuizen says it was challenging but he was happy with the result. He adds that in a way it allowed him to play a little more freely because he didn’t have to worry about clocks or congestion, so he could settle in, absorb the pressure and then play from there. On how his SA20 experience helped him get into international cricket, Esterhuizen says it definitely helped deal with some pressure, but that there is no pressure like international cricket. He says the SA20 helped him get a good position, but that it was a different kind of challenge. In the team discussion before the second game, Esterhuizen says the message is to match the energy from the last game and execute your skills clearly. He adds that it’s also about going out, having fun with your teammates and playing their best cricket.
