Temba Bavuma - Marco Jansen's call-up for the T20 World Cup

Loading player...
The Proteas captain, Temba Bavuma, has backed the left-arm seamer, Marco Jansen, ahead of their ICC T20 World Cup campaign in Australia.
The tall former Knights seamer was a late addition to the squad after coming in as cover for the North West Dragons all-rounder, Dwaine Pretorius.
Pretorius fractured his thumb during the tour of India, and this led to Jansen being called up to the squad. Jansen is known for his bowling but is starting to establish himself as an all-rounder.
Bavuma said the 22-year-old Jansen is the right man for the job.
