The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 begins on June 2. The teams have started preparing for the showpiece event. West Indies are all set to host South Africa for a three-match T20I series, starting on May 23.
The three-match series will provide a good opportunity for the teams to try out different combinations before the global event. All the three games of the series will be played at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.
Brandon King has been named the captain of the West Indies for the series against the Proteas. Most of their regular players are playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and as a result, King will be leading the side.
The likes of King, Roston Chase and Johnson Charles will play a vital role for them in the batting department whereas Shamar Joseph, Jason Holder and Obed McCoy will lead the bowling attack. They will be hoping to start the series on a winning note.
South Africa, on the other hand, will be led by Rassie van der Dussen. Aiden Markram, who is with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, will miss the series against the West Indies. Van der Dussen has plenty of experience at the highest level and will look to use it while leading the Proteas.
Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks and Ryan Rickelton form a solid batting line-up to go with the bowling department, comprising Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, Gerald Coetzee, and Tabraiz Shamsi. They will be looking to adapt to the conditions quickly before the T20 World Cup.
