Rassie van der Dussen Leads Proteas
The Proteas are focusing on their next game, with the team looking to bounce back from their defeat to New Zealand. With a strong squad and talented players like George Linde and Senuran Muthusamy, the team is confident in their abilities and ready to take on the challenge of the T20 World Cup.
Proteas all-format coach Shukri Conrad has given George Linde the freedom to push for a spot in the Proteas T20 World Cup squad, with the team gearing up for their next match in the Tri-Series in Harare. Linde, a frontline spinner, has been backed by Conrad alongside leg-spinner Nqaba Peter and slow left-arm orthodox Senuran Muthusamy. The trio will compete for a spot in the full-strength Proteas side that will travel to India next year.
Linde, who has started well in the ongoing Tri-Series, says being backed by Conrad gives him confidence and freedom to play. The Proteas will face New Zealand in the second match of the Tri-Series, with Linde expecting an entertaining contest despite New Zealand's superior match fitness. The team is looking to bounce back after a 21-run defeat to New Zealand and will face off against Zimbabwe on Sunday at the Harare Sports Club.
All-rounder Senuran Muthusamy expressed confidence in the batters, saying they will find their rhythm and that the team has a lot of quality. Muthusamy emphasized the importance of focusing on the next game and giving their best, regardless of the selected combination. With the T20 World Cup approaching, the Proteas are looking to finalize their squad and make a strong impression in the tournament.
As the Proteas continue to prepare for the T20 World Cup, they will be looking to Rassie van der Dussen and other key players to lead the team to success. With their upcoming matches in the Tri-Series, the team will be hoping to find their rhythm and make a strong statement in the cricket world.
