Bavuma disappointed not to have been considered for World Cup via SABCNewsOnline
He was one of the top three batsmen in the competition with 326 runs in nine innings, while he also shone in the Momentum One-Day Cup a few months back where he recorded 212 runs in five innings at an average of over 50.
Despite Bavuma’s axing, there is also hope that he can play a role for the Proteas in future one-day teams. After all, he has already played two ODIs for his country, scoring a century on debut against Ireland where he opened the batting and followed that with 48 in his other appearance versus Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, Bavuma admitted that he was worried about the injuries that some of South Africa’s key bowlers were currently nursing ahead of the World Cup, which starts against hosts England on May 30.
