Speaking to ICC, the head coach of Mumbai Indians said “He has got a good head as well, likes to learn things. He is a complete package as well, he can bat. He is a great asset for South Africa to have – a young cricketer coming through to add to a good fast bowling unit that they have with Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje.”
“The strengths of Marco is high. He is still growing and is going to get stronger. He will generate more pace, and with the more and more games that he plays, he is going to develop his skillset. Wherever in the world he is bowling, he is always going to trouble batters with the new ball,” Jayawardene further added.
