    Maphaka And Smith Included In SA Squad For T20 WC

    T20 World Cup: South Africa have included young pacer Kwena Maphaka and top-order batter Jason Smith in their squad for the T20 World Cup, with no place for batsmen Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs.

    Smith's selection comes on the back of his recent prolific form, earning him the nod ahead of Stubbs, who was in South Africa’s squad where they finished runners-up in 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup.

    Smith made his T20I debut in 2024 and boasts of a strike-rate of 128.30 and is currently turning out for MI Cape Town in SA20. One of his most recent standout performances came in the T20 Challenge, where he struck an unbeaten 68 off 19 balls to steer the Dolphins into the playoffs in November.
