SA20 League: Dale Steyn and Badani look to keep their good work going with Eastern Cape – Legendary fast bowler Steyn was instrumental in the rise of Umran Malik. Marco Jansen also shined under Steyn. Badani also was pivotal in giving Rahul Tripathi the license to go full throttle in the power play in IPL. Both the coaches will now look to explore such humongous talents in Eastern Cape and continue to keep their good work going.
It also remains to be if Eastern Cape approach Brian Lara as the mentor of the franchise, as they did with SRH.
