EXCLUSIVE: 'I've always had to fight': Lizaad Williams on family, fitness, and firing up Boland
Fully fit and back in Paarl, fast bowler Lizaad Williams discusses his motivation to bring silverware to Boland and ignite the home crowds ahead of the 4-Day Series opener.
Lizaad Williams, the Proteas fast bowler, has returned to the union that shaped his early cricket career in a special way. Tattooed on his arm, “Vredenburg,” his hometown where he grew up, is a constant reminder of his roots. It was also a tough place where he and his single mother fought for his future. After spending several successful years with the Titans in Gauteng, Williams has come back to Boland Park in Paarl, his second home and professional cricket starting point.
Now turning 33, Williams sees this as his last few years on the field, as he reflects on his career and the journey that brought him back to the place where it all began.
