Now in his third season of Major League Cricket (MLC) - all three coming for Texas Super King - the South African star sees clear signs of progress.

If you create enough opportunity, people do rise to the top," said the 40-year-old to "So I think, yeah, if you fast forward this league, I think in 10 years time from now, it'll be exciting to see what American cricket can do."
