The Proteas T20 World Cup squad was named earlier this week, with a strong group selected to challenge for the title in West Indies and USA.
There were a number of talking points around the squad, with some players surprisingly left out, while others deservedly missed out.
Breetzke made his Proteas T20I debut against Australia in September last year and last played against India in December. His form in this season’s SA20, where he ended as the third highest run scorer, and in the CSA T20 Challenge, where he finished top, was sublime and he will be disappointed to miss out on the showpiece event.The Proteas stalwart has never really been a T20 regular for the national side, although he has played in 43 T20I matches so far.
Ngidi’s batting may also have counted against him, with a player like Gerald Coetzee preferred as a lower order slugger.The current Proteas Test captain and former T20 captain has finally seen his time run out in the national T20 team. He received a lot of criticism over the past few years for his underperformance in the format, while keeping an in-form Reeza Hendricks out of the side.
