South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad is impressed with young batting sensation Dewald Brevis and has encouraged him to continue playing the way he does, without changing his style as he grows older. “I think sometimes we can be too humble,” Conrad told reporters after the third T20I in Cairns. “We don’t show off enough to the world what we’re capable of doing – like Brevis does. He’s obviously going to grow older, but I hope he continues to play like a 22-year-old. Sometimes, with experience, players tend to adjust the way they play. He’s a breath of fresh air.”…
