What happened

Story audio is generated using AI “I never thought I’d see the day that Jordan Hermann played shots,” Shukri Conrad joked to the left-hander when he picked him for the Proteas squad that toured New Zealand in March.

Why it matters

Hermann admits that as a junior he was a “slow blocker”.

Common ground

The pair first crossed paths when Conrad, then in his role as the national under-19 coach, picked Hermann for some internal matches during the Covid isolation.
