South African ODI skipper Temba Bavuma has gone home to attend to personal issues and is not participating in the Cricket World Cup warm-up fixtures in India.
Cricket South Africa's director of cricket, Enoch Nkwe, says the trial run of simplifying the Proteas' selection procedure has gone well so far.
Captain Temba Bavuma says the Proteas will miss Anrich Nortje's experience and leadership at the World Cup in India but has backed Gerald Coetzee to step up.
Proteas white-ball head coach Rob Walter today confirmed that Anrich Nortje and Sisanda Magala have been ruled out of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 in India.
South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has made an offer to MultiChoice (DSTV) for the sub-licensing for the Cricket World Cup 2023 and awaits their response.
Head coach Rob Walter is happy with the progress the Proteas have made in the ODI series victory against Australia but will not get carried away ahead of the team's departure for the World Cup.
