Quotes
“We have more senior chaps coming back in, so it will be great to have their energy and experience stepping back into the fray,” Proteas head coach Rob Walter said after the 3-0 T20I Series defeat to Australia.
“One thing we can say is it’s a lead up to a World Cup, so these are obviously five big games for us to come together as a group and keep building on the type of game we’ve already played this year.
“So I’m excited for the squad to come together for five keenly contested cricket matches. I think we’re going to have an awesome series.”
