Baartman omission ‘strange’ and ‘weird"’ says Steyn

OTTNEIL Baartman of Pearl Royals celebrated his 50th SA20 wicket this season but to many's surprise, the fast bowler was left out from the Proteas T20 World Cup squad.

Baartman was a key player for South Africa in the previous edition of the ICC T20 World Cup, as he bowled a total of 19 overs in the five games he played, meaning it was only in one game that he didn’t go through his allotted four overs in a match.

The right-arm quick returned an economy rate of 4.94 runs per over, an almost unheard of rate in the shortest format of the game.

In the SA20, he is one of two bowlers that have crossed the 50 wickets mark, alongside Marco Jansen who has been included in the Proteas squad headed for the tournament in India next month.
