The Proteas made a low-key return to SA on Monday after their gallant yet unsuccessful T20 World Cup campaign in the United Arab Emirates.
“I join all South Africans in thanking them for doing us proud,” Naidoo was quoted as saying in a statement released by CSA. “SA cricket is the ultimate winner as the momentum gained and lessons learnt from this World Cup places us on a powerful upward curve for the future, built on the foundations of excellence, access and inclusivity,” said Naidoo.
The team will rest before they assemble again to start preparations for a visit to the Netherlands for a three-match ODI series from November 26 and a blockbuster all-format tour by India, starting with three Tests from December 17. “With crowds allowed back into stadiums, subject to appropriate Covid-19 restrictions, we look forward to a bumper summer of cricket and coming together as one to support our team,” said Naidoo.
