For the first time in nearly eight months since its last outing at the ICC World T20 in the United Arab Emirates last year, South Africa will play an international Twenty20 match when it takes on India in a five-match series that starts in Delhi on Thursday.
The team started its practice sessions on Friday and skipper Temba Bavuma hoped to use the series as a chance for the team to get together after a long time.
When asked what he hopes to gain from this series considering the conditions are very different to the one in Australia, Bavuma said, “I think any type of competitive cricket will be good for us and we will be using the games to familiarise ourselves again with how we go about playing our cricket and getting the guys to understand what their roles are within the team.”
