Former South Africa Test cricketer Peter Kirsten was at Grainville on Sunday where he began his three-month coaching duties with the Jersey side which next month hosts Division Five of the World Cricket League,
“I was last here 20 years ago” he said after training. “What has impressed me now, on my return, is how good the facilities are.”
“The States of Jersey are obvioiusly pumping money into sport, which is good.”
Kirsten, whose brother Gary coaches India while hos other brother Andy, coaches Kenya, is under no illusion as to how hard his task will be with Jersey.
“All of their games this summer will be hard. Botswana will be fielding teir full Under 19 side and we know there’ll be ex-pats in the Bahamas team. It will be very competitiove, but I like the set-up in Jerseyy and I’m looking forward to it.”
Kirsten will be in the Island until 2nd June.
