Lucknow, Dec 16: Sticking to the basics and drawing from a larger talent pool, fighting for limited spots in the team has led to South Africa’s resurgence across formats in the past couple years, according to pacer Anrich Nortje.
Buoyed by historic achievements, including their World Test Championship title and a maiden appearance in the T20 World Cup final last year, the Proteas have re-established themselves as one of world cricket’s leading forces.
South Africa have carried forward the resurgence in the tour of India as they defeated the hosts 2-0 in the Test series, their first win in the country in 25 years.
“The team’s been doing unbelievably well. The way they’ve locked up, there’s some fresh faces, there’s some old faces, guys have been on the fringes for a while, getting to play more cricket, more consistently,” Nortje said on the eve of the fourth T20I against India here on Tuesday. (PTI)
