In a press conference on Tuesday, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said the team is debating whether to select a specialist batsman or an all-rounder at number six for the first one-day international against India on Wednesday (January 19). South Africa’s performance in the 50-over format has been inconsistent, but as the team prepares for the 2023 World Cup in India, they are working hard to improve their combination of players.
Recent batting lineups have included Andile Phehlukwayo or Wiaan Mulder at number six, most notably in the 2-1 series loss to Sri Lanka in September. The captain, Bavuma explained to reporters on Tuesday, “wants as many resources as he can get his hands on.” “You have to accept that there will be at least one bowler on the day who does not perform to his or her potential. I’d like to have as many options as possible, taking into consideration the overall composition of the team.”
