One of the new franchises, Morrisville SAMP Army, is led by Lance Klusener, who thinks they have what it takes to compete against the other seven teams in the sixth Abu Dhabi T10 competition.
According to Klusener, the SAMP Army's assembled force is in line with their original plans. We are quite pleased with the team we have been able to assemble, according to Klusener. "We've pretty much got the makeup of what we were looking for and the guys we were looking for. Hopefully, we can find that consistency with the performance over the course of the tournament."
Yes, they do fluctuate and it may be unpredictable, but I think there were enough possibilities to match our game style, he was quoted as saying in a release by the team. "We weren't lucky in this draught.
Prior to the official draught on September 26, the Morrisville SAMP Army signed players including Anrich Nortje (Platinum Player), Moeen Ali, and Shimron Hetmyer. David Miller has been designated as their Icon Player.
Klusener commented on the inclusion of foreign talents in the lineup, saying, "We are happy that we have lots of experience from David, Moeen, Nortje, and Hetmyer amongst other drafted players. We simply need to find the consistency of performance over the course of the 2 weeks."
Team owner Ritesh Patel is pleased with the amount of enthusiasm present in the Morrisville SAMP Army. The Morrisville SAMP Army is looking forward to the Abu Dhabi T10's sixth season, which is going to be an amazing competition. "After selection of the squad in the Official Draft, I feel it's a phenomenal squad, and we think we have the best combination that we could have had," the Morrisville SAMP Army said.
In actuality, everything went according to plan, and he said, "We are thrilled. We had a strategy and had multiple meetings before the draught. We were very well planned and had a back-up for practically every area.
Dwaine Pretorius, Johnson Charles, Chamika Karunaratne, and Sheldon Cottrell were selected by the team in the official draught.
