May 4, 2009

Cricket South Africa (CSA) today announced their final 15-man Standard Bank Pro20 squad for the ICC World T20, which will be played in England in June. Included in the squad are the Players who won the two Standard Bank Pro20 Internationals against Australia earlier this year including Graeme Smith (Nashua Cape Cobras, capt), Johan Botha (Chevrolet Warriors, vice-capt), Yusuf Abdulla (Nashua Dolphins), Mark Boucher (Chevrolet Warriors), AB de Villiers (Nashua Titans), JP Duminy (Nashua Cape Cobras), Herschelle Gibbs (Nashua Cape Cobras), Jacques Kallis (Chevrolet Warriors), Albie Morkel (Nashua Titans), Morne Morkel (Nashua Titans), Justin Ontong (Nashua Cape Cobras), Wayne Parnell (Chevrolet Warriors), Robbie Peterson (Nashua Cape Cobras), Dale Steyn (Nashua Titans), Roelof van der Merwe (Nashua Titans).

The squad will gather for a training camp at the end of the month. In the meantime, Mike Procter expressed his pleasure at the fact that the opportunity has now come for the Proteas to possibly win a major trophy in a limited overs match. He noted that the Players are in good physical health and condition and that many “quality all-rounders” are at their disposal.

Said Mickey Arthur, national coach, “I am delighted with the squad the selectors have given me…It is a team with plenty of options – great depth to the batting and plenty of bowling options. It is also an outstanding fielding unit.” It will be interesting to see how this pans out in June.
