Sisanda Magala newfound prominence in the Proteas bowling group has been confirmed after Cricket South Africa announced him as one of three new nationally contracted players for next season. | Sport24news
The burly but influential Lions quick has been in the national selection frame for years though he was previously dogged by fitness requirements before coming right recently.
CSA have also awarded a contract to Ryan Rickelton, who's been a focal point in terms of Proteas selection debates over the past months, while it will be hoped that the faith shown in Tristan Stubbs - the SA20's most expensive player who struggled for runs in the inaugural tournament - translates into a return to big-hitting form.
The lanky Marco Jansen, after a great start to his international career, is also given the nod, while Bjorn Fortuin looks set to challenge the spin bowling group in the ODI and T20 setups.
The feisty left-hand opener has almost nine months of off-time before South Africa's next Test assignment, against India in December, and Conrad expressed his hope that Elgar could clinch a proper English county deal to revitalise his verve.“The number of contracted players has increased from 16 to 20 this season to ensure that we have a wider pool of white-ball specialists and Test players.
