Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Friday announced a 24 men Proteas squad to take over England in limited encounters.
The teams will meet in three T20I and three ODI games, taking place behind closed doors at Newlands and Boland Park from November 27 to December 9.
The Warriors’ Glenton’s Companion has received its first international call. Stuurman and the rest of the named team will be eligible for selection for both series.
The 28-year-old from Oudtshoorn has 10 franchise games to his name, with 35 wickets to his credit.
Junior Dala He is also returning to the national team after a prolonged injury knocked him out of incoming international tours last season.
“We are very excited to announce this team today. With the biosecure environment where movement in and out of the team will be limited, we had to make sure we had all of our bases covered with all 24 players,” he added. Victor mpitsang, the new selectors coordinator, said through a press release.
“It also gives the team a chance to play a few games between squads just to make sure they sharpen those white ball skills before the series starts. On tour against England. I’m really looking forward to summer.”
Cricket Director Graeme smith He added that he was delighted to see the many months of hard work paying off.
“I am extremely proud of the hard work that the CSA team has put into ensuring that the Proteas men return to international cricket,” he said. “It’s been a long winter and it’s really nice that we finally have an imminent international tour on our shores to look forward to.
“This is an important season for the team, with an ICC T20 World Cup late next year in India. I’m sure the T20 series in particular will feature some explosive performances for cricket fans to enjoy at home. An ODI series against the reigning world champions will always bring a level of excitement of its own and I look forward to an exciting return to international cricket for our Proteas.
“We also hope to have more good news from the Proteas team soon,” Smith concluded.
