JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa (CSA) has today announced a 13-player SA Invitational XI squad set to face England Lions in a four-day match at the Western Province Cricket Club from 10 – 13 December.

Dafabet Warriors wicket-keeper Sinethemba Qeshile has been named captain of the team, with High-Performance batting lead Imraan Khan overseeing the squad.

Knights batter Lesego Senokwane, the leading run-scorer in the ongoing CSA 4-Day Series, is among the players selected for the red-ball encounter. He is joined by Renault North West Dragons all-rounder Ruan de Swart, Dafabet Warriors batters Jordan Hermann and Andile Mogakane, as well as DP World Lions fast bowler Codi Yusuf.

“The squad is a well-balanced mix of seasoned players and promising newcomers, each earning their spot through exceptional performances in domestic cricket,” said Khan.

“This match presents an invaluable platform for these players to showcase their skills against high-quality opposition. We look forward to seeing how they embrace this opportunity, just as we saw a number of players do the same earlier this year in the series against Zimbabwe Emerging.

“Playing against England Lions offers a unique challenge for our players, and we are eager to see how they rise to the occasion.”

Clive Rice (born 1949) – 24 internationals, 26.27 average, 97 high score, 47 wickets, 24.67 average, 4-19 best: Rice’s stats are also underwhelming. I would consider him a six-to-eight-point better batsman, and more likely averaging 2.5 wickets a Test. He was incredibly unlucky not to play official Test cricket. He certainly belonged.

  1. EOIN Morgan- an Irish-born cricketer doesn’t sing the national anthem before starting a game.

  2. The cricket bat has been a source of controversy in cricket. In 1771, one player attempted to breach the rules. Thomas White, an English cricketer, took his turn with a bat that was as wide as the wickets in the field. This ensured better defense and gave Thomas an unfair advantage. A protest by the opposing team ensued which later led to a change in cricket laws in 1774, setting the bat width to no more than 4.25 inches.
