Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) National Selection Committee has named Marco Jansen in the 15-man squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia.
The 22-year-old bowler replaces the injured Dwaine Pretorius after he was ruled out due to a fracture sustained to his left thumb during the recent T20 International series against India.
