Bavuma ‘has point to prove’ – Polly

Temba Bavuma was the last player picked at the SA20 auction, with the Pretoria Capitals grabbing the Proteas Test and ODI captain for R200,000. Capitals coach Shaun Pollock believes Bavuma’s inclusion wills serve as extra motivation after disappointing previous editions “There will also be a desire from his side after the disappointment of not being picked up in years gone by. So, he’ll come in with a point to prove.” Pollock also backed the 36-year-old’s ability to make an impact in the shortest format, saying his game has improved and that he now has a better understanding of his options. SA20 commissioner Graeme Smith welcomed Bavuma’s inclusion, calling it “fantastic” and praising him as “the ultimate professional” after he put his name forward for the auction.
