Cricketers need sufficient game time at domestic level before they can be called up to the Proteas team, says Temba Bavuma.
The Proteas will face Ireland in the first of three ODI matches in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.Cricketers need sufficient game time at domestic level before they can be called up to the national team, Proteas ODI captain Temba Bavuma has warned, as the second-string SA squad look to bounce back against Ireland.
While Bavuma was pleased with some of the performances produced by new players in the squad on their tour of the United Arab Emirates, he admitted it was a challenge for them to step up without having enough domestic experience behind them.“I think some of the guys come onto the scene and they’re able to shoot some lights out from the beginning, whereas other guys need a little bit longer,” Bavuma said.“People have spoken in depth about our domestic system and where it’s at.
“It’s probably not ideal for the youngsters because you want guys coming in with a bit of experience at this level, and not really coming in and trying to find their feet, but those are the cards at hand at the moment.”“Winning is important. The reason we train as hard as we do is so we can go out and win,” the skipper said.
