Motlhanka makes impressive first class debut

Motlhanka, who has previous experience playing abroad, will be in Zimbabwe until the end of the month where he is participating in the Logan Cup, the country's premier domestic competition. Motlhanka left Gaborone last week Friday to join up with his new teammates in Bulawayo before proceeding to Harare to face Mountaineers at the Harare Sports Club.

His call comes at a time when some of the Tuskers players are on national team duty in Sri Lanka. “I've been called to fill in for the Zimbabwe internationals that have gone to Sri Lanka for an ODI series,” Motlhanka told Mmegi Sport. He said the experience has been great thus far. “The game is a good experience so far, very tough and very mentally and physically demanding but still finding ways to keep enjoying the challenge.
