Green brings calmness to the side – Botha

Head Coach Johan Botha

Following Chris Green’s appointment as captain of Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Head Coach Johan Botha has thrown his support behind the 26-year-old Australian.

“I just think he is a calm cool player under pressure first of all, the way he leads, the way he plays the way he trains, he demands respect from the other players,” Botha told Stabroek Sport in an exclusive interview recently.

The Head Coach added, “I’ve always said as a captain I want to lead from the front and as you know you don’t always get the rewards on field, you don’t always get the big wickets or 50 not out but the way he trains, he leads the training, the guys respect him which is one of the important points and he has fitted in brilliantly in the Guyana set up.”
