The injured Adam Zampa will be replaced by Tanveer Sangha against South Africa. Sangha has so far participated in 31 T20 games and taken 42 wickets.
Adam Zampa, a talented Australian spinner, will not play in the first Twenty20 international match against South Africa in Durban. The new development has been confirmed by Cricket Australia, who also noted that the leg-spinner is now struggling with a sickness and won’t be able to play in the game. Tanveer Sangha, a 21-year-old who will replace Zampa in the starting XI. Will have a great chance to prove his talent and secure his position.
On his debut, Sangha will also feel the pressure. Only 31 T20 games have been played by him thus far in his career, but he already has 42 wickets and a 7.46 economy rate. He participated in the just finished The Hundred tournament with Birmingham Phoenix. Where the bowling all-arounder took three wickets in the final game versus London Spirit. He would therefore strive to maintain the same momentum and have a strong showing in his debut international game.

In addition to Sangha, other Australian players who will be making their debuts against South Africa include Matthew Short, Aaron Hardie, and Spencer Johnson. The young players have a great chance to shine in the middle because all the big boys—including David Warner, Pat Cummins, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, and many others—are absent. This is the ideal opportunity for them to establish themselves with the T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in 10 months.
Mitchell Marsh will serve as the team’s captain for the T20I and ODI series. He will have a difficult job since everyone would want to play against the Proteas. Notably, players like Spencer Johnson and Aaron Hardie shone in the most recent Big Bash League (BBL), so it would be intriguing to see how they do in international cricket.
