We are thrill to have the legendary Dale Steyn on board: Sanjay Govil
“We’re very pleased with the team we’ve put together so far.” Moises (Henriques) and Greg (Shipperd) have already won titles with the Sydney Sixers. It is critical to create a winning culture around a young brand from the start. We’re also thrilled to have the legendary Dale Steyn on board. The prospect of having such a person on American soil spending time with some of the squad’s younger members is very intriguing,” remark Sanjay Govil, owner of Washington Freedom, as quoted by Cricbuzz.
Dale Steyn was a member of the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad in the Indian Premier League. Following his spell with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, he went on to represent Gujarat Lions and Royal Challengers Bangalore (again).
