    Markram To Continue As Opener For South Africa For Fitting In More Middle-order Batters

    By IANS News August 15, 2025 • 18:58 PM View: 355
    Lucknow Super Giants: South Africa captain Aiden Markram said he will continue in his new role as opener in the T20I team in a bid to fit in more middle-order batters. With the three-match T20I series currently locked at 1-1, South Africa and Australia will play the decider game in Cairns on Saturday.

    Markram had a strong IPL 2025 as an opener for Lucknow Super Giants, scoring five fifties in 13 innings at a strike rate of 148.82. But Markram has not registered a score beyond fifty in T20Is since October 2022.

    "Going through our squads and the players that we've got around, we think probably that (opening) is the best fit. We've got some guys in the middle order that are a lot more destructive than I am, and we feel probably it's better off for me and Ricks (Ryan Rickelton) to be up top.”
