Khaya Zondo, the only centurion in last season’s domestic T20, has been included in the South African team for next month’s Hong Kong Super Sixes competition.
The tournament takes place on October 27 and 28, 2012.
The 22-year-old Sunfoil Dolphins batsman was the one player to benefit from the temporary inclusion of the New Age Impi team in last season’s competition. His unbeaten century against the Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras at Boland Park, Paarl, came off just 65 balls. He went on to finish the campaign with 259 runs at an average of 32.37 with a strike rate of 112.60.
The Proteas held their first practice session ahead of the ICC World Twenty20 tournament in Sri Lanka on Sunday afternoon and SA bowler Morne Morkel believes the team will have to adapt to conditions as soon as possible.
"It's very humid here at the moment," Morkel said.
"It's almost similar to Chennai and we expect the conditions to be fairly the same."
The Proteas kick off their campaign against Zimbabwe in Hambantota on Thursday in their opening Group C fixture.
