Cricket-South Africa want promising batsmen to show potential on international stage
FILE PHOTO: Cricket - 2025 ICC World Test Championship Final - South Africa v Australia - Lord's Cricket Ground, London, Britain - June 13, 2025 South Africa's Aiden Markram celebrates reaching his century Action Images via Reuters/Andrew Boyers/ File Photo CAPE TOWN (Reuters) -South Africa's Twenty20 captain Aiden Markram wants his team's promising young batsman to use the opportunity of limited overs tours to Australia and England over the next eight weeks to develop their careers and display their international potential. South Africa have high hopes for powerful teenage slogger Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Dewald Brevis, the prolific 22-year-old run scorer who first competed in the Indian Premier League three years ago, as they continue preparations for next year's T20 World Cup. "The last thing you want to do is to clip their wings. You sort of want to let them fly and let them do their thing,' Markram told a virtual press conference on Friday as South Africa readied to depart for Australia, where they play three T20 internationals in Darwin and Cairns later this month. "I think we've seen on various stages around the world now that they are proper X-factor players and that they havetaken to international cricket quite easily,' he added. "So, I don't know if I have too much advice for them, besides the fact that they must keep taking the game on and not be scared of disappointments or failures. 'It's been great to see their progress. They're going to play a massive role moving forward in cricket in South Africa and that's the thing that we're quite excited about,' Markram added. Brevis, a regular in T20 leagues around the world, debuted for South Africa's T20 side against Australia two years ago while Pretorius, 19, debuted in last month's tri series against New Zealand and hosts Zimbabwe, scoring 51 in the final in Harare last weekend. The pair are also in the squad to take on Australia in three One Day Internationals after the T20 series. South Africa then head to England early next month for three ODIs and three T20s. "For us as a team it'll be about fine tuning a lot of things and preparing for that T20 World Cup, so a great opportunity in Australia and then followed by England and if we can get closer towards another trophy, that'll be good," Markram told reporters. South Africa were runners-up at the last T20 World Cup in the West Indies one year ago and Markram was the hero of their World Test Championship win over Australia in June.

China's Qin Haiyang milks 'miracle' second breaststroke gold at swim worlds
China's swimmer Qin Haiyang celebrates his victory in the men's 200m breaststroke swimming event during the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore on Friday, August 1, 2025. -- Photo by Oli SCARFF / AFP SINGAPORE (AFP): China's roaring Qin Haiyang won his second breaststroke gold of the Singapore swimming world championships on Friday as he edged a 200m nail-biter. World record holder Qin surged to the wall in 2min 07.41sec, ahead of Japan's Ippei Watanabe (2:07.70) and Caspar Corbeau of the Netherlands (2:07.73). The 26-year-old Qin won the 100m breaststroke earlier in the week but he celebrated his second victory as if it were his first. He punched the air before whipping up the delighted Chinese fans in the arena, who screamed him on to a thrilling victory. Qin started the race in lane eight after qualifying slowest from the semi-finals but it made no difference as he regained the world title he won in 2023 in style. "Amazing," said Qin. "Have you heard of the lane eight miracle? "I did not know if I was second or third, I just heard 'whoo', so I knew I had won." The lead changed hands several times, with American AJ Pouch and Russian Kirill Prigoda also challenging. In the end it was Qin who got the decisive touch ahead of Watanabe, giving the Chinese swimmer his fourth medal of the championships in Singapore. Qin is returning to form after flopping at last year's Paris Olympics, where he did not even make the final of the 200m breaststroke. His preparations for the Games were thrown into turmoil when he was implicated in a major doping scandal months before the Games. A report named Qin among 23 Chinese swimmers who had tested positive for a prescription heart drug ahead of the pandemic-delayed 2021 Tokyo Olympics. They were not sanctioned after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accepted the argument of Chinese authorities that the positive tests were caused by contaminated food. The flamboyant Qin, who won bronze in the 50m in Singapore, gave his overall performance at the competition full marks. "In the past I always felt there's room for improvement. Now I'm better at encouraging myself," he said. "I can give myself 100 out of 100. I should rest well after this." Qin, who clinched all three individual breaststroke crowns in Japan in 2023 to announce himself to the world, feels there is still room for improvement. The Los Angeles 2028 Olympics are already on his mind. "What I've done best here is take this pressure on well," he added. "That was truly the hardest thing I faced here. "When a person faces challenges, it's natural to want to run away and hide from it. In this respect, I think I've done well." - AFP
