South African pacer Anrich Nortje is hoping to receive a call-up to the national team for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20I World Cup 2026, scheduled to take place in India and Sri Lanka. He described the last two months as the ideal build-up for his complete international comeback. Nortje returned to the action in the SA20 tournament, playing for Sunrisers Eastern Cape, where he picked up a four-wicket haul (4/13) against Paarl Royals, who were bundled out for just 49 runs, the lowest score ever in the SA20 tournament. “Hopefully I get selected but for now it’s just to try and build, take it game by game and day by day,” Nortje was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. “I had a nice little build up starting with the CSA T20 challenge and then got the call up for the India series. I’d call it the ideal build up. From here on it’s just to try and execute and work on one or two things. It’s also so busy, so it’s just to try and keep …

Anrich Nortje on not playing for South Africa regularly: ‘They haven’t pressed on my button’ | Cricket News

South Africa’s Anrich Nortje is one of the quickest bowlers going around in world cricket. Not only is he quick, but he also has the skills to move the ball in both directions at his nasty pace. However, as it always happens with fast bowlers, Nortje has had his fair share of issues with injuries in the last year. In fact, after the 2024 T20 World Cup co-hosted in the West Indies and the USA, he has not been seen in a Proteas jersey. Although he was picked in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, he was once again not fit, and for the upcoming World Test Championship, he has not been named in the squad. “I’ve been available for the last year, from before the World Cup to December, and only got selected again in December to play,” Nortje said, speaking to Sports Boom. “There were a few series I wasn’t picked for, mostly to give opportunities to others. So, from my side, I’ve been available to play for the country, but they …

RCB captain Rajat Patidar faces first bouncer, not from Nortje or Ngidi…but this third Mr N | Ipl News

Mr Nags, the famous RCB comedian, opened Season 18 of the IPL with newly named skipper, and hapless target Rajat Patidar in his crosshairs. While most of comic Danish Sait’s questions are rhetorical, he did get Patidar to promise that the skipper would not allow the franchise to lose “4-5 matches in a row.” Mr Nags wondered what Patidar would do should RCB lose a bunch of games, adding, “It’s not hard to believe.” The Bengaluru outfit are notorious for losing home games, flattering to deceive and always coming to the brink of winning, but then not, having gone title-less for 17 years. Story continues below this ad Humour is how they have self-deprecated, but haven’t quite made sense of how the downhill gets set into motion year after year. So when asked how he would respond as skipper, Patidar replied, “First of all we will try to not lose 4-5 matches in a row. And secondly, Never ask me this question again,” Patidar gritted his teeth in response to Mr Nags. RCB captains have …

And even as another edition of SA20 continues to make headlines, with Champions Trophy around the corner South Africa are facing a massive headache.
