WP ’old boys’ Richard Levi and Dane Vilas back in the fold for CSA T20 Challenge

Cape Town - Western Province have gone “old school” with the return of Richard Levi and Dane Vilas to Cape Town for the upcoming CSA T20 Challenge set to take place in Gqerberha from Monday.

Levi (34) and Vilas’ (36) experience was called upon after the loss of two senior batters this past week. Zubayr Hamza received a late call-up to the Proteas Test squad for the tour to New Zealand, while David Bedingham was required to return to the United Kingdom to join English County Championship side Durham for their pre-season training.

Both absentees left gaping holes in the WP batting line-up, especially after Hamza finished as the third leading run-scorer in the CSA Knockout T20 Cup at the beginning of the season where he blasted 187 runs at a strike-rate of 142.74.

There’s no doubt though the return of the veteran duo will spark controversy in the corridors of Newlands.

Back to where it all started. Excited to be back
