What Cricket South Africa said
“The selection panel is particularly excited by the depth of this squad, with a mix of youth and experience. We are confident that this group of players will take us one step closer to qualifying for the World Cup in India later this year,” said convener of selectors Victor Mpitsang.
“We are also pleased with the inclusion of Sisanda and the commitment he has shown to meet the fitness standards required for national selection.
“The three-match series against England will kickstart our international home season following months on the road, and we would like to wish Temba and Shukri well in what will no doubt be an exciting series against quality opposition.”
Director of cricket Enoch Nkwe added: “Shukri will oversee the series in consultation with Rob, who is currently in New Zealand as he prepares to assume his role ahead of the start of his tenure as limited-overs coach, which comes into effect from 1 February.”
