With some of the top and middle order batters rested, Kyle Verreynne is planning to use the three-match series against the Netherlands to impress selectors and coach Mark Boucher.

As they stepped up preparations for the match in Centurion, Verreynne said the absence of regular captain Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen is a welcome opportunity for fringe players. “It is always good when there are about six to seven guys competing for five spots. It is quite challenging but that’s why this is the national side and international cricket. It is always good when there is competition for spots in the team.”
“We don’t see the Netherlands as weak opposition. You saw with Ireland, a so-called weaker team, who beat us convincingly not so long ago. “If you make an impression in a series like this against the Netherlands, automatically the coach and selectors will sort of look at you a bit harder. Every time you get an opportunity to play, you also have your eye on the 2023 World Cup.
Verreynne said he has an idea of the composition of the Netherlands after watching them during the ICC T20 World Cup.
