“With ICC World Cup qualification points in the balance, it was vital for us not to tinker with a winning combination,” said CSA Convenor of Selectors Victor Mpitsang.
“After a great performance against a very strong Indian side, we felt it was important to reward the good performances of the previous series and to continue to back this growing team.
“Consistency in selection and performance are just some of the key elements that need to be looked after, especially when building up to a World Cup.”
