Cricket South Africa (CSA) today announced the squad that will represent South Africa at the prestigious Hong Kong (HK) Sixes tournament, to be held from 07 – 09 November at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
South Africa are five-time HK Sixes champions, having won the 1995, 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2017 editions of the tournament.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s squad blends experience and youthful talent, aiming to make a strong impact at the high-octane tournament.<\/p>\n
The seven-player squad will be captained by Warriors all-rounder Jordan Morris. South Africa Under-19 and Titans batter Jorich van Schalkwyk has also been included. The 18-year-old opener made headlines in July when he became the first batter to score a double century at U19 level, achieving the feat against Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
Boland batter Ethan Cunningham and Western Province batter Kashief Joseph add depth to the batting line-up, while all-rounders Abdullah Bayomi (Western Province) and Blake Simpson (Dolphins) bring versatility to the squad.<\/p>\n
In the bowling department, Western Province paceman Mbulelo Dube will spearhead the attack.<\/p>\n
South Africa is pooled in Group A with Afghanistan and Nepal, and will open their campaign against Afghanistan on 07 November before taking on Nepal the following day.<\/p>\n
