Quotes To get this call-up means a lot for me personally because it just shows that even though things get tough, you just keep doing your job, go to training and do the hard stuff you don’t want to do, and it can pay off, So for me when I got that call, to be honest I cried a little bit. It means a lot for me and obviously for my family as well I know this and my brother knows this, but we’re exactly the same. It just comes down to performance on the day, but if you look at it on a broader spectrum we can do exactly the same job, even though we’re two different people He (Marco) has done a lot of good things for the Proteas, and I’m starting my journey here (in Namibia), so I still need to show it on this stage but I’m here for a reason and a certain goal, and I’m going to reach that goal If I have to show that to the world, that I belong here, I’m going to do that. Just trying to move forward and put in the hard work, that was the most difficult part for me, to wake up every morning and say ‘ok, I have to do this to improve It didn’t feel like I was improving, even though I put in the hard work, bowling five hours a day some days… but even though it doesn’t look like you’re getting the rewards at that point, over time it’s going to pay off I cried’: Duan Jansen relieved to join twin brother Marco in Proteas set-up, August 2026, by Wesley Bottom It's been a dream of mine since I was very young, specifically to play Test cricket and especially touring Australia, which is a very proud cricketing nation It's a fast bowler's paradise in a sense. It's like the perfect story and I am very excited I'm excited to go and learn and play with the Proteas bowling attack which is one of the best in the world. I just want to go there as a sponge and soak up everything. It's something that I'm very much looking forward to.
