South Africa will have a new captain at the helm for their upcoming tour of Namibia, with Bjorn Fortuin set to lead the side.
South Africa will first compete in a tri-series featuring Namibia and Zimbabwe, beginning on August 28 in Windhoek, before taking on the hosts in a three-match ODI series.
Proteas Squad for Namibia White-ball Tour:
Bjorn Fortuin, Eathan Bosch, Dewald Brevis, Tony de Zorzi, Connor Esterhuizen, Jordan Hermann, Rubin Hermann, Duan Jansen, Kwena Maphaka, Nqobani Mokoena, Nqaba Peter, Lhuan-dré Pretorius, Lutho Sipamla, Jason Smith, and Prenelan Subrayen.
All-rounder Duan Jansen, the twin brother of South Africa star Marco Jansen, has earned his maiden national call-up after impressing on the domestic circuit. The 26-year-old has been a standout performer across both of South Africa’s domestic white-ball competitions and played a key role in the Titans’ title-winning campaign in the 50-over competition.
All-rounder Eathan Bosch is the other uncapped T20I player in the squad, while Connor Esterhuizen, Jordan Hermann and Nqobani Mokoena have received their maiden ODI call-ups. Along with Jordan, his brother Rubin Hermann is also in the side.
