Cricket South Africa announced a 16-member ODI squad for the upcoming three-match series against England which is set to begin on January 27.
“The selection panel is particularly excited by the depth of this squad, with a mix of youth and experience. We are confident that this group of players will take us one step closer to qualifying for the ICC Men’s World Cup in India later this year. We are also pleased with the inclusion of Sisanda and the commitment he has shown to meet the fitness standards required for national selection,” said Convener of Selectors Victor Mpitsang.
“The three-match series against England will kickstart our international home season following months on the road, and we would like to wish Temba and Shukri well in what will no doubt be an exciting series against quality opposition,” he added.
“Shukri will oversee the series in consultation with Rob (Walter), who is currently in New Zealand as he prepares to assume his role ahead of the start of his tenure as limited-overs coach, which comes into effect from 01 February,” said the Director of Cricket Enoch Nkwe.
