Proteas head coach Mark Boucher believes SA cricket is in a healthy state and he anticipates a tough time for the national selection team ahead of this year’s T20 World Cup.
The Proteas have enjoyed good success in the white ball cricket format, winning their 2-0 T20I series match against Ireland in England on Friday night.
The two had been absent in the national team after they took Kolpak deals and ruled themselves out for Proteas selection. “When you’ve got guys like that coming in and performing, there’s no space for anyone to rest . When Players keep challenging for spots they can only push each other to different heights as we’ve seen in the last few games. I think it’s a very healthy spot for SA cricket to be in,” he said.
“There’s a lot of guys competing but unfortunately you can only take 15 to the World Cup and we are going to have to look at the opposition that we will be playing and make some smart decisions when we select for that World Cup.
