The South Africa captain – who tells Ali Martin he ‘can’t imagine being a youngster and not seeing my heroes play in person’ – will lead a World XI as the ICC brings back international cricket to Pakistan amid tight security

“I’d like to look back at the end of my career and think I did something that made an impact on people’s lives,” Du Plessis tells the Guardian from the team bus in Dubai on Sunday evening before their arrival in Lahore in the early hours of Monday morning.

“I can’t imagine being a youngster and not seeing my heroes play in person and so me and the players understand we’re playing for something a lot bigger than us.”

“Every time you captain, it’s a nice recognition and personally I saw this trip as an opportunity to captain different personalities and nationalities and learn from them,” says Du Plessis, who after Friday’s finale heads back to South Africa to begin preparations for their Test series against Bangladesh.

He will link up with a new coach on his return, with Ottis Gibson having signed off from his second spell in charge of England’s bowlers to take over the Proteas. “I’m really excited, there is always anticipation ahead of a new start. The word on the street is he’s very good. Anyone that can add value to me as a captain and a player, to help me grow with my bowlers, is welcome.”
