Makhaya Ntini: Bavuma has βopened the doorβ for black African cricketers
Makhaya Ntini, the first black cricketer to represent South Africa has praised fellow countryman Temba Bavuma for becoming the first black African to score a century for the Proteas.
Bavuma made an unbeaten 102 runs on day four of the second Test with England in Cape Town.
βWe have always been seen as black cricketers, that we can only be bowlers, not batters,β said Ntini.
βHe has opened the door for the rest of them, to show we are able and capable of playing the game into the highest level.β
