Tabraiz Shamsi confident of South Africa's fresh blood firing against Australia

South Africa are all set to play with fresh blood in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Australia. The Proteas' decision to rest star players like Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Anrich Nortje, and Kagiso Rabada highlights their focus on giving the newcomers a chance to make their mark. However, the star players will rejoin the squad for the subsequent five-match ODI series.

Dewald Brevis, Donovan Ferreira, Gerald Coetzee, and Matthew Breetzke, all uncapped, have an exciting opportunity to showcase their ability on the international stage. Brevis and Ferreira have already displayed their batting prowess in domestic and global T20 leagues. Meanwhile, fast bowler Coetzee brings a bit of prior ODI and Test match experience.

"It's very exciting, and we don't see them as junior players or new guys coming into the squad." He emphasized the potential match-winning capabilities of the newcomers, underscoring the squad's anticipation for their contributions," Tabraiz Shamsi was quoted as saying by Planet Sport. 

Despite the imminent 50-over World Cup in India, both teams appear fully committed to the T20I series. Shamsi brushed off suggestions that these games are just experimentation, saying the Proteas' intention is to secure victory. 

The rivalry between Proteas and the Aussies is known for intense battles, and Shamsi believes this series will be no different, irrespective of the team's form.

"Whether we are in a great patch as a team or a bad patch, whenever the Australians come around, we know everyone is up for it," Shamsi stated confidently. He further noted that the team's preparations reflect their determination to win the series.

The upcoming series promises fresh faces stepping onto the international scene, each capable of winning a match on their own. Cricket fans eagerly await the clash between these two cricket giants, hoping to witness a great series. It would be quite interesting to see if players like Brevis and Ferreira can replicate their franchise cricket performances in international cricket.
