CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa have named a largely unchanged One-Day International squad for the three-match home series with Bangladesh on March 18-23, with only all-rounder Sisanda Magala missing out after he failed a fitness test.
South Africa have named a largely unchanged one-day international squad for the three-match home series with Bangladesh from March 18 to 23, with only all-rounder Sisanda Magala missing out after he failed a fitness test. But it is otherwise the same selection that defeated India 3-0 on home soil in January.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Tuesday announced a 16-man Proteas squad to take on Bangladesh in an upcoming three-game ODI series.
Dean Elgar has urged his teammates to choose national duty in a series against Bangladesh over the upcoming Indian Premier Leageu (IPL) as it is a test of loyalty for them and they must prioritise their country. South Africa are set to play three one-dayers and two Tests against Bangladesh starting March 18, while the IPL is scheduled to be held from March 26 to May 29. The ODIs will be held on March 18, 20 and 23, followed by two Tests starting on March 31 and ending on April 12. According to 'ESPNcricinfo', Cricket South Africa has left it on the players to decide between the lucrative league and turning up for the country in the Bangladesh series. "The players need to give Cricket South Africa an indication of if they are keen to go to the IPL or if they are keen to play for the Test side. It's a bit of a tough one putting that in the players' box but this I guess, this is where you see where players' loyalty lies," Elgar said. "They mustn't forget that Test cricket or one-day cricket got them into the IPL and not the other way around."
The Indian Premier League (IPL) may be a player's money-making dream, but it's proving to be Proteas skipper Dean Elgar's worst nightmare.
Johannesburg - Character, resilience and growth, were the most popular words amongst South Africa’s players following their 198-run win against New Zealand in Christchurch on Tuesday morning.
South Africa turned the tables on New Zealand with an emphatic 198-run victory in the second Test in Christchurch, crushing the hosts' hopes of a maiden series win over the Proteas.
New Zealand were beaten comprehensibly by South Africa in the second Test in Christchurch on Tuesday but that doesn't mean the hosts did not have their share of brilliance in the series-deciding final Test match. On Day 4, Will Young pulled off an "outrageous" catch to dismiss South Africa pacer Marco Jansen. During the 79th over of South Africa's second innings, Jansen had flicked Colin de Grandhomme's delivery towards the deep midwicket region.
