Was At The Verge Of Retiring From Cricket 28 Months Ago: SA's Test Centurion Sarel Erwee

By IANS News February 25, 2022 • 18:40 PM View: 1350

South African centurion in the second Test against New Zealand here on Friday, Sarel Erwee, was just a "phone call away from calling it quits" but support from family and friends -- and help from a sports psychologist -- helped him rethink his decision 28 months back.

The 32-year-old left-handed opener, after an unimpressive showing in the opening Test where he scored just 10 and a duck as New Zealand inflicted an innings defeat on the Proteas a week ago, scored a patient 108 in the second Test at the Hagley Oval on Friday to give the visitors a solid start at 238/3 on Day 1.
