Former Proteas captain Johan Botha returns to cricket after retiring. Botha left her home country and moved to Australia after retiring from the South African team. The off-roader said goodbye to cricket in Australia two years ago after playing a national tournament in Australia. He returns to cricket after retiring on Australian soil.
