The Afghan spinner added that he wants the players in the Cape Town-based franchise to get the basics right and enjoy themselves on the field.

“So, as I said, we had some great games, but at the end, we just didn’t control our nerves in the previous time, and we just lost the game in that situation. I feel like, you know, we just get the basics right. We enjoy ourselves, we have fun on the ground, and make sure we play 100%. That’s the only way we can get the right results,” he added.
