T20 squad a bit confusing

The makeup of the men’s T20 World Cup squad has generated plenty of discussion, and rightly so, with the omission of Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs seemingly confusing many fans.

Serious cricket followers have also wondered why Simon Harmer and Matthew Breetzke aren't in the squad and so, too, maybe Jordan Hermann, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Ottneil Baartman and even Evan Jones.

Concerns have been raised about why Tony de Zorzi and Jason Smith, both with just two T20 internationals to their names, have been included in the 15-man squad for the tournament starting next month.

If truth be told, the squad picked by the selectors doesn’t elicit confidence ahead of the showpiece.
