The Proteas have some of the best fans in the world and they appreciate each and every one. They were therefore, very excited to make Kieron Adam’s dream of meeting them come true. The 11 year-old was ecstatic to spend an afternoon with some of his favourite players: Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers and Dale Steyn, talking about life and cricket.
