Proteas tour West Indies

The Proteas are going to tour the West Indies for the first time in 11 years. The Proteas will play three T20s and 2 Tests against the West Indies in Grenada and St Lucia. The 3 T20s will be played in Grenada and the 2 tests will be played in St Lucia.

The Biggest Question is how will the Proteas squad look for these 2 series as Graeme Smith the director of Cricket South Africa said that we could see the return of Ad De Villiers, Chris Morris, and Imran Tahir.

My question is are the selectors and Graeme Smith has a few more surprises in selecting the squads for these 2 series. Especially with the Kolpak players now available for selection. I know with the Quotas rules, not all will be selected but a few being brought back could strengthen the Proteas team and also put them back to winning ways.

So these are how I expect the squad to look when announced

Test Squad.

The squad is big but with covid19 we can expect extended squads and a few standby players to be announced so that's why I have gone with a large squad.

Do share your opinions in the comments and what you think of the Proteas chances in the West Indies.

Proteas vs India ODI series Preview

The Proteas are set to face India in a three-match ODI series, starting on December 17, 2023. The series will be played in Johannesburg, Gqeberha, and Paarl. South Africa comes into the series with a relatively young team that is still finding its feet in international cricket. The likes of Tony de Zorzi, Kyle Verreynne, and Wiaan Mulder will be looking to make an impact in the series and cement their place in the team. On the other hand, India also has a very young and inexperienced ODI squad, led by the likes of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. The Indian team will be looking to continue their dominance in the limited-overs format of the game after an excellent World Cup where they went unbeaten for 10 matches before falling short in the final. The Proteas had a successful World Cup as well which saw their campaign end in the semifinals and they will also be looking to build on that as they look to build a team for the Champions Trophy 2025. This is the first ODI for both teams since th

Pakistan vs Australia 2nd test Day 1 review

Australia and Pakistan faced off in the second Test match at MSG. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. The visitors started well with opening bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Mir Hamza getting the ball to move off the seam. However, the Australian batter struck back with a good opening partnership of 90 runs. Australia finished the day at 187/3 off 66 overs as rain played spoilsport, with Hasan Ali, Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal the pick of the bowlers. It was a tough day for the Pakistani bowlers as they struggled to cause Australian bowlers for long enough periods at a time, but they will look to bounce back on Day 2. The Australian batsman will be aiming to put up a big total for their bowlers to bowl too. Overall, it was an exciting day of Test cricket and fans can look forward to more action in the coming days.
