This is my first any only time that I will ever play selector. It’s a daunting job that Linda Zondi and his selection panel have to try and pick 15 players to represent South Africa at this year’s Cricket World Cup in the United Kingdom.
This is the first and only time that I will ever play selector. It is a daunting job that Linda Zondi and his selection panel have to try and pick 15 players to represent South Africa at this year’s Cricket World Cup in the United Kingdom.
Hashim Amla: The Mighty # hasn’t had the best couple of months, particularly off the field where he has had to deal with the ill-health of his father. This has prevented him from playing white ball cricket for both the Cobras and the Proteas in the Momentum One Day Cup and the recently concluded ODI series against Sri Lanka, which has caused so many doubts about his place in the World Cup squad.
Dale Steyn: "Hoolio" as he is affectionately known by his teammates, is 34-years-old but bowling like 23-year-old KG Rabada. Steyn looks like he has gotten over his injury woes that stole almost three precious years from his career. A highly skillful bowler who is vastly experienced. Rassie van der Dussen: Rassie has paid his dues in domestic cricket for close to a decade and most of the time players like him come into the international environment and thrive almost immediately. Rassie has certainly done enough to earn a spot in the World Cup squad through his consistent performances and his adaptability makes him a real asset for the side.
Reeza Hendricks: Hendricks scored a century on ODI debut last year in Sri Lanka and has showed glimpses of that brilliant performance without really taking the opening berth by the scruff of the neck. I do, though, believe that he has done enough to secure a spot on the plane to England.
