CSA ANNOUNCES PROTEAS CONTRACT SQUAD FOR 2018/19

Cricket South Africa (CSA) today announced the Standard Bank Proteas Men’s squad to be awarded national contracts for the 2018-19 season. The contracts cover the bilateral tours away to Sri Lanka and Australia as well as the home series against Zimbabwe, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, finishing with the 2019 edition of the ICC World Cup to be played in England and Wales.

First time national contracts have been awarded to Aiden Markram and Lungi Ngidi who have both made their international debuts during the course of the past contract year.

“We made an exception last year in increasing the number of contracted players to 21 but this year we are comfortable that the normal standard number of 18 will be appropriate to maintain our national squads across all three formats,” commented CSA Acting Chief Executive, Thabang Moroe. “This enables us to contract both our Test players as well as those who are limited overs specialists.

“Aiden and Lungi have both made an immediate impact on the international scene and this is a continuation of our policy of having a strong squad with a good mix of young and experienced world-class stars,” added Mr Moroe.

CSA contracted Proteas players: Hashim Amla (WSB Cape Cobras), Temba Bavuma (WSB Cape Cobras), Quinton de Kock (Multiply Titans), AB de Villiers (Multiply Titans), JP Duminy (WSB Cape Cobras), Faf du Plessis (Multiply Titans), Dean Elgar (Multiply Titans), Imran Tahir (Hollywoodbets Dolphins), Keshav Maharaj (Hollywoodbets Dolphins), Aiden Markram (Multiply Titans), David Miller (VKB Knights), Chris Morris (Multiply Titans), Lungi Ngidi (Multiply Titans), Andile Phehlukwayo (Hollywoodbets Dolphins), Vernon Philander (WSB Cape Cobras), Kagiso Rabada (bizhub Highveld Lions), Tabraiz Shamsi (Multiply Titans), Dale Steyn (Multiply Titans).
 
Lots of regular faces but they better make these contracts good - esp with no Global T20 league
 
The last Proteas contract for Amla, de Villiers, Steyn, Faf, Philander, Duminy and Tahir.
 
The last Proteas contract for Amla, de Villiers, Steyn, Faf, Philander, Duminy and Tahir.

I think Faf has 2-3 good years still left in him, as he hasn't played the same volume of cricket as Amla and de Villiers. Agree on the rest.
