South Africa’s Test wicket-keeper Kyle Verreynne joins The Biggest Man in Cricket for a grounded, honest and inspiring conversation. ‘Scholesy’ reflects on earning the Jacques Kallis bursary to Wynberg Boys’ and breaking into a strong Western Province side by performing when it mattered. He speaks about his long-standing relationship with Ashwell Prince, making his Proteas debut, and two career-defining moments: hitting the winning runs in the ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord’s, and again for Nottinghamshire as they won the County Championship. He also shares why he loves the current Proteas environment — a team that plays for each other and believes they’re never out of the game.
