After what Proteas One-Day skipper Temba Bavuma described as a “tricky journey,” South Africa can begin their World Cup preparations, which will involve training camps, the SA A tour to Sri Lanka and the ODI series with Australia in September.
“Looking at the past few months, we have made a lot of positive strides as a team. We are well positioned to build on the momentum and confidence we’ve gained. Now is the perfect opportunity for us to focus on the World Cup from a preparation point of view, nail down on our plans and brush up on areas we feel we need to brush up on,” Bavuma said.
While Cricket South Africa has publicly stated that winning the 2027 tournament, which will be hosted in South Africa, is a priority for the players and coaching staff, senior officials noted it would have been embarrassing had the Proteas not qualified for this year’s tournament. The Sri Lanka A side is also likely to be a strong one, as they ramp up preparations for that qualifying tournament in Zimbabwe.
