South African white ball team head coach Rob Walter has announced the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. This mega event will be played from June 1 to June 29 in USA and West Indies. Aiden Markram will captain the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup for the first time. He was declared the captain of the T20I team a long time ago. Two uncapped players are also part of the squad.
South Africa have also included two uncapped players in the squad, including batsman Ryan Rickleton and fast bowler Otniel Baartman. At the same time, the names of Nandre Berger and Lungi Ngidi are included in the list of reserve players. Ngidi has been part of the squad for quite some time now, but his form has been a cause for concern of late. Andre Berger is still not quite fit.
Let us tell you that the uncapped players got a place in the squad based on their performance in the SA20 league. This batsman scored 530 runs in 8 matches at an average of 58.88. His strike rate was also superb. At the same time, Baartman took 18 wickets in 8 matches for the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. This team won the title. The team includes batsmen like Quinton de Kock, Henrik Klaasen, Reece Hendricks, David Miller, Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs.
