Proteas bowler Lungi Ngidi has made a brutal assessment of their previous performances against New Zealand in their two previous matches, admitting that they made some rookie mistakes against them.
Aiden Markram, Lungi Ngidi and Keshav Maharaj will be the big-name Proteas in the SA20 auction after all six teams announced their pre-signed and retained players ahead of season 4.
Lungi Ngidi has been recalled to Proteas' squad for the World Test Championship final against Australia that will take place at Lord's from 11 June.
Proteas coach Rob Walter has added two more players to his squad for their first Tri-Series ODI against New Zealand in Lahore on Monday.
Proteas fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has been ruled out of the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka, as well as the all-format tour against Pakistan, due to a groin injury.
Lungi Ngidi is ready to lead the Proteas bowling attack and share knowledge with a relatively inexperienced side in the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan in Sharjah.
