WI vs SA | Dwaine Pretorius contracts Covid, Proteas call up Wiaan Mulder as Bavuma makes comeback
South Africa white-ball side will see the return of their skipper Temba Bavuma after he missed the Test series against West Indies due to hip and finger injury. Bavuma will lead the side over the five-match long T20 series against Windies in Grenada. Meanwhile, South Africa all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius has tested positive for Covid-19 and has not travelled with the Proteas squad to Grenada. However, he is recovering from the diseases while being asymptomatic and the Proteas have added Wiaan Mulder to the T20 squad as his cover. South Africa have also retained left-arm seamer Beuran Hendricks as one of the pacers along with Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, Sisanda Magala and Lizaad Williams with an eye on the rotation of the quicks. The five-match long T20 series between South Africa and West Indies will commence on June 26. South Africa T20I squad Temba Bavuma (capt), Quinton de Kock (wk), Janneman Malan, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Bjorn Fortuin, Beuran Hendricks, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, George Linde, Sisanda Magala, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi , Rassie van der Dussen, Kyle Verreynne, Lizaad Williams
Keegan Petersen, Beuran Hendricks out from SA squad for not entering bio-bubble
In the ongoing saga of South African cricket team's struggles with COVID-19 infections, the latest episode involves Beuran Hendricks and Keegan Petersen being withdrawn from the Proteas squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka as the two men failed to enter the bio-bubble created for the players ahead of the first match. The squad, which initially consisted of 19 players has now been reduced to 17. The remaining players have gone through three stages of testing and have all been found negative for the dreaded infection. This means the bio-bubble is secure. To keep it that way, no further additions will be made to the group. This exclusion is a big blow for Hendricks. A talented left-arm seamer who has been on the fringes of the national side for years, he finally made his Test debut during the last home season for his team, against England a Johannesburg, and managed to grab a five-for in the second innings. With Kagiso Rabada missing in action due to an injury, his place in the team was almost certain. Having squandered this opportunity, he now will yield his place to someone among a list of new names - Lutho Sipamla, Glenton Stuurman, or Migael Pretorius. This would be a big blow for him. Petersen would be even more dejected by his failure to get into the bubble in time. South Africa have a vacancy in their middle order and he could have easily filled it. He too would make way for a new name, if South Africa go for a seven-men batting line-up. Otherwise, with Quinton de Kock batting at no. 6, the Proteas may be happy to play with a five-man bowling attack. The first Test of the two-match series begins on Boxing Day at Centurion. The secon Test would be played at Johannesburg, begining on January 3. Cricket South Africa have already suffered due to lax COVID protocols. The tour of England to South Africa had to be cut-short and the ODI series fully postponed due to players in the home team testing positive. The administrators wouldn't like any further cancellations this season.
