Wayne Parnell becomes first Kolpak player to return to the South Africa squad

Wayne Parnell: When South Africa picked their squad for three One-Day Internationals against the Netherlands in the coming weeks, Wayne Parnell became the first former Kolpak player to come in from the cold. But, in the wake of his unexpected rejection from the T20 World Cup, George Linde must be wondering what he did wrong to be ignored once more.

In September 2018, Parnell, who finished his 111th match for South Africa in October 2017, announced that he has signed a three-year Kolpak contract with Worcestershire. He was unable to play internationally as a result of this.

When the United Kingdom left the European Union at the end of January 2020, players like Parnell were reintroduced to the South African team – as long as they competed in the country’s domestic championships.

Although the regional ODI tournament has yet to be played this season, Wayne Parnell captained Western Province in the T20 league and scored 104 runs in four innings

The Knights won by four runs, due in part to Rilee Rossouw, another Kolpak returnee who hit an unbeaten 112 off 55 pitches. Rossouw also scored another century and two half-centuries in five innings in that competition, where he was the leading run-scorer. He did not, however, receive an ODI call-up.

“These selections are part of our strategy to give opportunities and reward the good work of players in our provincial system,”
