It is a great responsibility, and I am looking forward to working closely with the team, the coaching staff, and the management to bring success to the franchise. T10 cricket is an exhilarating format, and I believe we have the perfect blend of skill, talent, and passion to make a significant impact in the upcoming tournament."
Mr. Sameen Rana, Owner Durban Qalandars: "Craig Ervine is a remarkable cricketer and a natural leader. His appointment as captain aligns with our vision of building a strong, competitive team capable of dominating the T10 format. We believe his experience, talent, and leadership qualities will elevate the performance of the Durban Qalandars and create an exciting season for our fans."
