Xtra Time Web Desk: The Proteas T20 squad led by Temba Bavuma have arrived in India for the upcoming five match T20 series. The South African players arrived in the capital in the wee hours on Thursday. The likes of Quinton de Kock, David Miller and Kagiso Rabada who were part of IPL franchises are already in India.

Tristan Stubbs will be the new face in the Proteas T20 squad. After an impressive domestic campaign, he was given a maiden call-up to the senior team. However, Stubbs will not be a first timer in India. He was part of Mumbai Indians squad in the recently concluded IPL 2022. Although he failed to make a mark scoring 0 and 2 in two innings, he will be eager to impress during the five-match series.

As for Temba Bavuma, his aim will be winning the T20 series against a second-string Indian side led by KL Rahul.  The Proteas captain did make it clear before leaving for India.

“We obviously have the World Cup this year, so this T20 series against India would be good to start preparation towards that. We will try to win, try to stop India from World Record of Most Consecutive T20 Wins,” Temba Bavuma said.
