Colin Ingram steps down as Warriors Captain

By

Warriors Cricket announced yesterday that Colin Ingram has requested to step down as captain. Colin has had some injury concerns and feels that he would not do justice to the role of captain. He had knee surgery a few weeks ago and is now in recovery. His rehabiliaton is going well but he is some time away from getting out into the middle.

The Warriors travel to East London for their first Sunfoil Series match of the season which will start on Wednesday 5 October.

In light of the above it has been decided that Simon Harmer be appointed captain of the Sunfoil Series team and Jon-Jon Smuts the 1 day and T20 team captain. Both Harmer and Smuts recently captained the Border and EP teams respectively in the Africa T20 Cup Challenge and have on occasion captained the Warriors last season.

“Colin has been an outstanding captain and we are grateful for his leadership over the past season. He has always given the franchise 100%. He still has big role to play as a senior player in the squad and we are looking forward to his continued commitment to the team albeit not in a captaincy role” said Coach Malibongwe Maketa.
