The Proteas have announced their squad for the ODI and T20i series in Sri Lanka and there have a few interesting selections. The decision to leave Jannaman Malan, Andile Phehlukwayo and Kyle Verreynne out of the T20 squad is the biggest question. These are three very good players and they will have an opportunity to show their skill as they are part of the ODI squad but I feel they should have been in the T20 squad as well. The Good news is Dwaine Pretorius is back and in both squads which is a good sign also Keshav Maharaj is in the T20 squad which is great opportunity for him if given a chance to show his skill in the shortest format of the game. The T20 series in Sri Lanka is the last 3 games for Proteas as team before the T20 world cup and will want to get the final pieces to their squad together in this series. All the best to the Proteas.
