Proteas suprising Preliminary World cup squad

The Proteas have announced their preliminary World cup squad and there are some interesting selections made by the selectors as Proteas only have one series left before the World cup. The Proteas 19 men squad looks strong and balanced, but the biggest question is will that remain the same when the squad is cut down to fifteen.

The captain for Proteas is Bavuma who is a very calm and cool leader. He has adjusted to the leadership role very well and has the respect of his teammates. The team under his leadership is a very well-gelled unit.

The vice-captain of the team is Markram who has been seen as a leader from age group cricket. He and Bavuma have a great relationship and they work very well together bouncing ideas off each other. Makram as Bavuma deputy makes the perfect pair to lead the Proteas in the World cup.

The key players for Proteas in this World cup will be Klaasen, Miller, Van der Dussen in the batting and Maharaj, Shamsi, Rabada and Nortje in the bowling department. If these players have a good World cup the Proteas will have an extremely good chance to win the world cup.

The Proteas team are in decent form as an ODI unit there are a few questions that need to be answered and hopefully they will be during the five match ODI series against Australia. Proteas will give a debut to Brevis jurying the ODI series and he might be the answer to the No7 spot that's open in the Proteas batting order.

Good Luck to the Proteas for the World Cup
