Proteas white-ball coach Rob Walter has named an initial squad for the upcoming tri-nations One-Day International series against New Zealand and Pakistan.
Proteas red-ball captain Temba Bavuma has issued an open invitation to the likes of Australia, India, and England to come and challenge them in longer Test series in South Africa.
Ryan Rickelton and Temba Bavuma both struck centuries as the Proteas dominated day one of the second Test against Pakistan at Newlands, going to stumps with the total on 316-4.
Captain Temba Bavuma has called on the Proteas to be more clinical and ruthless as he reflected on the team's journey towards World Test Championship (WTC) final.
South Africa edged Pakistan by two wickets in the opening Test match at Centurion on Sunday, booking their place in the World Test Championship Final in June 2025.
When Shukri Conrad was appointed coach of the Proteas Test team in January 2023 he immediately made the decision to install Temba Bavuma as captain, and has been handsomely rewarded by the player.
