On this day six years ago, former Proteas spinner Eddie Leie was named man of the match on T20I debut against Bangladesh, and on Wednesday he posted a heartfelt message to social media on the anniversary of that milestone.

No one can ever take this away from me. A kid from a shack, no private school. Became Man of the Match on Debut for South Africa. 07 /07 /15 . This date tattooed in my arm. I will always celebrate this day. No opportunities came after this but I am proud what I achieved then. pic.twitter.com/oH2gNiFs7z
