SOUTH AFRICA ‘A’ one-day captain Khaya Zondo admits he has a few nerves in his new role, but he is confident he will get over them quickly as they prepare to depart for England on Tuesday. The 27-year-old leads the 50-over squad for the month-long trip, while Aiden Markram will be in charge of the four-day team.The South Africans have a strong squad for the trip. Apart from Zondo and Markram, two of the shining lights from the 2016/17 domestic season, the squad includes a host of already fully capped Standard Bank Proteas on their books.
Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma, Theunis de Bruyn, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi and Duanne Olivier are amongst those that will offer the side some valuable big match temperament and Zondo says they will be going all out to win in England. The tour includes three one-dayers against the England Lions and one four-day game against their English counterparts.
