First Class Debutant
Also of interest. Quite a large number of First Div/Franchise debutants, which makes sense given the expansion from 6 to 8 teams (offset by a number of overseas players returning):
Most debutants, unsurprisingly, North-west; one of the two "expanded" teams and their bowlers struggled apart from Potgieter. Western Province struggled to plug the gap of Nandré Burger's season-long injury. Boland (Rocks) and KZN Coastal (Dolphins) are both in the market for a keeper who can bat, while Warriors have three! That said, the Warriors probably looked the flimsiest batting side, though maybe playing their best batsman Moore would help?
