South Africa's Tabraiz Shamsi during the third Vitality IT20 match at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton. Picture date: Sunday July 31, 2022. Tabraiz Shamsi is confident in South Africa’s inexperienced players when they face Australia. The choice by Proteas to rest seasoned players demonstrates their commitment to providing the rookies a chance to stand out.
South Africa are all set to play with fresh blood in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Australia. The Proteas’ decision to rest star players like Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen. David Miller, Anrich Nortje, and Kagiso Rabada highlights their focus on giving the newcomers a chance to make their mark. However, the star players will rejoin the squad for the subsequent five-match ODI series.
Dewald Brevis, Donovan Ferreira, Gerald Coetzee, and Matthew Breetzke, all uncapped, have an exciting opportunity to showcase their ability on the international stage. Brevis and Ferreira have already displayed their batting prowess in domestic and global T20 leagues. Meanwhile, fast bowler Coetzee brings a bit of prior ODI and Test match experience.

It’s extremely exciting, and we don’t think of them as newcomers or younger players joining the team
He praised the newcomers’ potential match-winning talents and emphasized the squad’s eagerness for their contributions, according to Tabraiz Shamsi, who was quoted by Planet Sport.
Although the 50-over World Cup is about to begin in India, both countries seem totally focused on the T20I series. Shamsi dismissed claims that these contests are merely experiments, claiming that the Proteas’ goal is to win.
Regardless of the team’s performance, Shamsi thinks this series between the Proteas and the Aussies would feature intense battles typical of their rivalry.
Shamsi said with assurance, “Whenever the Australians come around, we know everyone is up for it. Whether we are in a great patch as a team or a bad patch. ” He added that the team’s preparations show how commit they are to winning the series.
