Mihlali Mpongwana's rise continues in Caribbean as SA A take 1-0 series lead
Mihlali Mpongwana of Western Province celebrates his century during the CSA One Day Cup final against the North West Dragons. Mihlali Mpongwana of Western Province is one of the new faces in the Proteas ODI squad. Picture: Ryan Wilkisky / BackpagePix MIHLALI Mpongwana has been one of the up-and-coming all-rounders in domestic cricket for a number of years. The lanky seam-bowling all-rounder started making waves about two seasons ago when he dominated the One-Day Cup campaign in the blue colours of Western Province cricket. It is hard to forget the maiden List A century that he scored during the final of the 2023/24 One-Day Cup at Newlands, a knock that saw Western Province win the competition courtesy of Mpongwana and Kyle Verreynne's centuries. The 25-year-old Mpongwana has since been in a number of Proteas white -ball squads and has gone on to play a One-Day International at Lahore against New Zealand earlier this year.

Six uncapped players named in South Africa ODI squad
Feb 5 (Reuters) - South Africa will take six uncapped players to Pakistan this week for their tri-series against the hosts and New Zealand, coach Rob Walter said on Wednesday. An initial 12-man selection has been named to take on New Zealand in Lahore next Monday in South Africa's first game of the series. Additional players will be named once player availability becomes clearer as South Africa's showcase Twenty20 competition concludes this week. Temba Bavuma will lead the side with all-rounder Mihlali Mpongwana being named in the squad for a second time after a first call-up against India two years ago. The uncapped players are batsmen Matthew Breetzke and Meeka-eel Prince, spinner Senuran Muthusamy and the fast bowling duo of Gideon Peters and Eathan Bosch. Gerald Coetzee has recovered from a left hamstring strain and is also included after being forced to sit out the test series against Pakistan last month and then the SA20 tournament. Keshav Maharaj and Heinrich Klaasen miss the first match but will be available for the second ODI against Pakistan in Karachi on Feb. 12. The tri-series is a warm up ahead of the Champions Trophy, which starts on Feb. 19 and is being co-hosted by Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates. South African ODI regulars Marco Jansen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, and Rassie van der Dussen will not take part in the tri-series but have already been named in the squad for the Champions Trophy. Tri-series squad: Temba Bavuma (captain), Eathan Bosch, Matthew Breetzke, Gerald Coetzee, Junior Dala, Wiaan Mulder, Mihlali Mpongwana, Senuran Muthusamy, Gideon Peters, Meeka-eel Prince, Jason Smith, Kyle Verreynne Champions Trophy squad: Temba Bavuma (captain), Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs, Rassie van der Dussen.
