“This is a special team, they gave me my first opportunity in franchise cricket and will always be grateful. I know I can always make up if I start slowly,” he added.

“We don’t have the aura like we did 4-5 years ago as the rest of the teams have caught up and are really good,” concluded Colin Munro.
