Proteas captain Temba Bavuma says they will use the three ODIs against the West Indies to introduce new players to widen their pool.
The Proteas and Windies will play the first ODI today at Buffalo Park , East London. Bavuma captained his side to a Test 2-0 series win over their opponents, and he hopes that the momentum will translate to the 50-over matches.
SA are ushering in a new era in the white ball format under coach Rob Walter and Bavuma. The duo have an eye on the key series against the Netherlands later this month and the World Cup in October and November in India. "We want to widen the pool, even with those new guys coming in; it’s not a factor of us compromising or kind of giving away our desire to win this series. We want to do well, and we want to win this series but it will be even better if you have the new faces come in under that pressure, under uncertainty and put in the winning performances that the team requires," Bavuma said.
