FRESH FACES: Duan Jansen among fresh faces in Proteas squad for Namibia tour
Several players, including Duan Jansen, have earned their maiden Proteas call-up for a white-ball tour of Namibia. The tour serves as a prelude to a busy home summer as well as an opportunity to strengthen cricket in Africa.
Several new players have been called up to the Proteas squad for the upcoming white-ball tour of Namibia, where they will take on Namibia and Zimbabwe from 28 August to 6 September. The tour is a prelude to a busy domestic season and aims to strengthen cricket in Africa. Duan Jansen, the twin brother of all-rounder Marco Jansen, has earned his maiden Proteas call-up with a string of standout performances across both white-ball formats.
He helped his domestic team the Titans win the Division 1 One-Day Cup in March and was later named the competition's Player of the Season. Jansen also recently finished as Gloucestershire's leading wicket-taker in the T20 Blast, with 16 wickets. The Proteas head coach Shukri Conrad praised Jansen's performances and noted that the squad took into account their responsibilities to develop cricket in Africa.
