All Glory to the Almighty for granting me this journey of Proteas that has been nothing but a joy and a privilege. I learned many things during this amazing 15-years journey, made many friends, and most importantly shared the love of a brotherhood called #proteafire.
I would like to thank my parents for their prayers, love, and support throughout my whole career; it is their shadow over me that allowed me to play for years under the Proteas sun. Besides, my family, friends, and agent, my teammates and all support staff members throughout this amazing journey. A sincere thank you to each of you!
The star Batsmen thanked his fans and CSA officials for the opportunities they gave him.
Thanks to the fans for giving me energy when times were tough, and for celebrating with me when we succeeded together. And, of course, a very special thanks to the President and the Board of Cricket South Africa, not to mention the Executive Director, Thabang Moroe, and his administrative team. I appreciate all the opportunities and I'm grateful.
