Nkwe happy with Protea's tune-up for World Cup: Cricket SA’s director of cricket Enoch Nkwe says the measures they are putting in place will help the Proteas deal with potential pressure moments in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup in India in October.
With the Proteas, whenever they play at the World Cup there are always reservations from the public as they have seen them stumbling on countless occasions since readmission. Semifinal exits in the 1999 and 2007 World Cup to Australia and other disappointing displays have seen the Proteas dubbed as"chokers".
The Proteas under mentor Rob Walter and Temba Bavuma’s captaincy seem to have turned the page. The team secured direct qualification for the World Cup last month, and they have already started the preparation for the 50-over tournament, with the five One-Day Internationals with Australia at home set to serve as a dress rehearsal.
“There’s been quite a lot happening behind the scenes since qualifying, even since the last game of the season we didn’t take our foot off the pedal,” said Nkwe.nsuring there’s continuous development with our players, clarity in role definition and everything is in line with our World Cup at the end of the year.
