Potgieter told OFM Sport that he is excited to be a part of the inaugural tournament.

“I am super-excited and super-stoked that I got picked up in the auction, said the dangerous all-rounder.

“I can't want to go and meet the team and all of that. What a blessing it is.

“I'm very excited that I will be playing with Wesley Marshall and Duan Jansen, so there are a couple of familiar faces at least. That makes it a little easier, but very excited and can't wait.”
