South Africa Names T20 Squad for West Indies Series

News summary

South Africa has announced a revamped T20 squad for the upcoming series against the West Indies, featuring uncapped players Kwena Maphaka and Jason Smith. Maphaka, an 18-year-old fast bowler who shone at the U19 World Cup and secured an IPL contract, is seen as a player with significant potential. The team, returning to the Caribbean after finishing as runners-up in the T20 World Cup, is missing several senior players due to injuries and workload management. Coach Rob Walter emphasized the importance of this tour for player development and exposure to international competition. Notably, Rassie van der Dussen returns to the squad after being omitted from the World Cup lineup. The three-match series will take place at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago on August 23, 25, and 27.
