Antipas has not only called up the “Smiling Assassin”, but has re-instated him as the Warriors captain ahead of today’s clash with Botswana at the National Sports Stadium.
“We all know Knowledge is a great player, he has done it before, he has done it over and over again,’’ Billiat told The Herald.
“I have played with Knowledge before and I know what kind of a player he is. He is a player I connect with very well and he also connects well with the other players, which makes us a stronger team.
“We need him, he is a great player and I believe his presence will improve the team. He still has a lot to offer to this team,” added the Chiefs star.
