"I'm extremely excited for Aiden because he has shown over the last season or two that he is a special player. "We have just gone through a successful four-day game together for (South African franchise) the Titans as an opening pair and hopefully we have longevity. "I do think it's unfair to expect a batting unit to be settled if the opening unit is unsettled. Openers set up the rest for the guys to come through and play naturally," said Elgar. Sometimes you don't need to talk cricket, you just need to give him peace of mind because he is a special cricketer."
