Quinton de Kock back in South Africa squad for 5th ODI
Hashim Amla returns to captain
South Africa for the fifth One-Day
International (ODI) against West
Indies at SuperSport Park in
Centurion on Wednesday. AB de
Villiers has been rested for the
match, while Quinton de Kock makes
a return to the line-up after a speedy
recovery from a left ankle injury
sustained in December.
The Proteas have made clear the
importance of finishing the series
with a win, and will see the match as
the last opportunity to "tie up loose
ends" before leaving for the ICC
Cricket World Cup next week.
"It's very important," Amla said of
winning. "You want guys to perform
and to be in good form getting into
the World Cup. Everyone is hungry to
excel, to do their part and to make
sure that they get on to the plane
knowing that their skills are up to
date. As a team we want to be
winning. 4-1 sounds better than 3-2
and the benefit of being in the
position that we are in is giving the
guys an opportunity which is just as
important as winning."
Amla says the fringe players will
have learnt a lot from the loss in
Port Elizabeth, and will continue to
gain more confidence with each
playing opportunity.
