Proteas bowling coach Eric Simons hopes South Africa's attack, led by Kagiso Rabada, can perform on the subcontinent in what he believes will be a high-scoring World Cup tournament.

Proteas captain Temba Bavuma will return to South Africa and miss the Cricket World Cup warm-ups.
South Africa's preparations for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup have taken a blow with the news that captain Temba Bavuma will miss the Proteas' warm-up fixtures for the tournament against Afghanistan and New Zealand. Bavuma is flying home due to family reasons and will miss South Africa's two vital warm-up matches. The T20I skipper Aiden Markram will captain the South Africa team in WC warm-up matches in Bavuma's absence.

A fracture in the left hand has ruled out Australia batter Travis Head from the first half of the World Cup in India with his participation in the rest of the tournament also uncertain, leaving the door open for the inclusion of in-form Marnus Labuschagne. The opener was struck on the left glove by a short delivery from Proteas seamer Gerald Coetzee in the fourth ODI against South Africa last week. Head coach Andrew McDonald revealed that Head, who will miss the three-match ODI series against India beginning on Friday, doesn't require surgery but the Australian selectors need to deliberate on the risk of "carrying" him in the World Cup squad.
