Corbin Bosch: Yeah, this is a great opportunity. Namibia are playing, coming off some really good cricket, and I think it's, as you said, it's like a nice opportunity to get in, play some good hard cricket, especially leading into what is going to be an awesome summer. So I think it's a great opportunity just to get some game time and, yeah, just enjoy myself out there in the field. Yeah, hopefully we (On playing alongside his brother Eathan Bosch) play together. It’s such a special occasion just sharing a change room with him. I don’t think my dad or my parents could be any more proud, and I just think it’s a testament to both of our hard work and dedication to this game. And as I said, it’s incredible just sharing a change room with him. I haven’t done it too much throughout our careers because we’ve been in different places, but as I said, any time representing our country is special, but him being here and us playing together, I don’t think anything can top that. Yeah, to find some nice rhythm. I haven’t played a match in a while, so I’m looking forward to that. And as I said, the Namibians are coming off some really good cricket, and so it’s going to be nice and competitive, get those competitive juices flowing, and yeah, hopefully my goal is to put some really good performances out there to early stamp my authority in the team and to, yeah, as I said, kickstart what’s going to be a pretty incredible summer.

Jan Frylinck: It's obviously a very big occasion. We're all looking forward to it. I mean, it's been a while since we've played against a full member, or test nation in the ODI. So yeah, really looking forward to the opportunity. Obviously, T20 is a little bit of a different game. ODI is a longer format, but the mentality stays the same, looking to take the game on. But in saying that, this is also a very good prep for us heading into the USA. So we'll be using these three games to tick all our boxes before that USA trip. Yeah, definitely. I think we're proving to ourselves that we can compete with the test nations, and doing that game in, game out is going to be the test now. Well, well done.
