SA A end successful tour of Zim

SA A ended their successful tour of Zimbabwe as the last unofficial test was called off due to covid19 cases rasing in Zimbabwe. The SA A side won the unofficial One-day series 3-1 and the unofficial test series 1-0.

There were a few shining stars to come out of this tour. The future stars to come out were Zubayr Humza, Ryan Rickelton, Sinethemba Qeshile, Edward Moore, Senuran Muthusamy, Migael Pretorius, Glenton Stuurman, Daryn Dupavillion, Lutho Sipamla, Tony de Zorzi. This proves that SA have a good backup and also their bench strength is as good as the first team.

The manner in which they dominated and won each match as they were all one-sided affairs shows that South Africa are not far from becoming a powerhouse in cricket again. Providing no more political interference and players being awarded on the exceptional performance they put in over the season to get selected for the national side.

The Proteas also started a new era under captain Elgar with a dominant win in the West Indies and also this gives a chance at finishing 5th in the world test championship.

The future for South African cricket and its stars are bright and if the teams are selected right I have no doubt that out of the 4 ICC events that will take place from now to 2023 Proteas can be considered favourites to win all 4 tournaments.

Hopefully, we see more SA A tours alongside the Proteas in future so that we show the world we still have so talented cricketers and that South Africa is still a strong team. The more cricket the players play in the different conditions the more experience they will gain and the more prepared they will be when they get to make their debut for the Proteas.

These were my thoughts on Proteas and their future do share yours in the comment section below.
