England v South Africa - Royal London ODI
Phehlukwayo is an emerging young talent from South Africa

Andile Phehlukwayo has been one of the emerging players of South Africa and has been a regular figure in the Proteas line-up in white ball cricket. It was not too long back that he had shown his power game with the bat in the fourth ODI against India at the Wanderers on the 'Pink Day'

Phehlukwayo is a hit-the-deck bowler who uses his shoulders to bang the ball into the pitch and extract some sort of carry. He doesn’t have a lot of pace, but gets the ball to rise awkwardly at times due to his height. He also bowls cutters every now and again.

Talking about his batting, he is quite a powerful bloke and while he does have some limitations against spin, especially if the pitch assists turn, he has got a fair range against the fast bowlers and is not a bad prospect for the no. 7/8 slot.
