Cricket Fanatics Magazine had an opportunity to speak with Omar Henry to unpack his views on the recent performances of Proteas spinner Keshav Maharaj.

Henry, the first-ever player of colour to represent South Africa since readmission, was an accomplished spinner in his own right.

“Keshav Maharaj will be the best we have ever produced,” said Henry, while referencing that he did not have a personal relationship with Maharaj, but worked closely with young stalwarts Senuran Muthusamy and Prenelan Subrayen during his tenure at KZN.

Maharaj’s stats were deemed aspirational among these two stalwarts, resulting in Muthusamy making his debut in India back in 2019.

“Another significant aspect or dimension of Maharaj’s game is that he was a natural leader and led by example. He was never afraid to experiment and worked very hard on improving his game,” Henry added.
