Rickelton Not Aiming To Change Approach In Bid To Claim South Africa T20I Opening Slot
South Africa T20I: Left-handed opener Ryan Rickelton said he will stick to his aggressive batting approach in a bid to own South Africa’s T20I opening slot ahead of next year’s World Cup, set to happen in India and Sri Lanka.
With no Quinton de Kock, Temba Bavuma and Reeza Hendricks in the team, Rickleton, 27, is set to partner 17-year-old Lhuan-dre Pretorius at the top of the order in the three-match T20I series against Australia starting on Sunday.
"I'm still trying to establish myself in the T20 side but I don't think there'll be any expectation for me to change anything that I've been doing in these last two years. It's just an opportunity for me to hopefully claim that opening spot for this South African side, going into the World Cup and further on past that," Rickleton was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo on Wednesday.
