Zim Afro T is a T10 cricket league in Zimbabwe, featuring teams from South Africa, Zimbabwe and Nigeria. The league is owned by Tee Ten Sports Management and was launched in 2023 in collaboration with Zimbabwe Cricket. The inaugural edition of the tournament was played in July 2023. In an exclusive interview with CricTracker, Dawid Malan has expressed his opinion on some things- Question: You have performed brilliantly in the Jim Afro T10 and now the next step for Cape Town Samp Army is to reach the playoffs. Tell us about the league stage of this tournament and how was it for you? A: Yes, it’s been awesome. First of all, this is my first time playing in Zimbabwe and it was great. It has also been fantastic to be part of the Cape Town Samp Army. We were watched very well and played some very good cricket. It is natural for players to fluctuate in performance in the T10 format. But, we have also played some very good matches. After today’s match, if the results go in our favor then we can come second, and we can get two chances. Overall, it has been a very fun and good tournament. Question: What are your thoughts regarding the T10 format? This is the fastest and shortest format, so how was your experience? Answer: Yes, it’s a lot of fun. In this format you can just go out and play bigger shots and experiment more. The best thing is that it has the impact player rule, so I don’t have to field. So, this is my favorite format, where I can just bat and avoid fielding. Question: Jim Afro There are also many young Zimbabwean players in the T10. What do you think about his talent, and what is the conversation with him? Answer: Yes, I am very impressed by his talent. You usually see Zimbabwe’s domestic players only in international matches, but here some young players are getting a chance to play on the big stage. It is great for him that he is sharing the dressing room with the players who played the World Cup finals. I had breakfast with David Willey this morning and discussed bowling. That’s what you want from these tournaments, for players to interact and learn from each other. Question: England’s performance in the last ODI World Cup was not good, but individually you did well. Tell us about that experience. Answer: Yes, personally it was great that I scored runs and contributed to some wins. It’s everyone’s dream to score a century…
