Keshav Maharaj Aiming To Take Dolphins 'over The Line' In Four-day Series

As busy as the international and franchise cricket schedule is, it remains an important role for the Proteas players to return to domestic cricket and pass down the knowledge and experience to the new generation.

SA spinner Keshav Maharaj understands this duty that he and his national teammates have, and hasnt hesitated fulfilling it as he returned to the Dolphins side from the Champions Trophy to help the Durban-based side to win the One Day Cup.

Maharaj understands the impact of sharing the dressing room with an experienced international as a young cricketer on the come-up.

Having played in two ICC events in under a year, playing in the scorching West Indies and Bangladesh sun in Test cricket, Maharaj feels fatigued, but national duty outweighs physical tiredness.

Look, as tired as one is or as tired as ones body can be, its important that we are still role models for cricket and trying to make our systems a lot better as it goes on, Maharaj told Independent Media on Wednesday.
