Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>CAPE TOWN \u2013 Proteas Men\u2019s captain Temba Bavuma says the success of the Proteas\u2019 Women\u2019s team in India has motivated his side to do well in the upcoming ODI series against Pakistan.<\/p>\n

The Proteas\u2019 Women\u2019s team arrived back home from the subcontinent last week having beaten India in both the ODI (4-1) and T20I (2-1) series for the first time on foreign soil. It was a hugely significant achievement as India are the current 50-overs and T20 World Cup runners-up.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Proteas\u2019 Men\u2019s team suffered a humiliating 3-0 Test series whitewash in their last visit to India back in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have our own experiences of playing in India and we know how tough it is to play in that part of the world,\u201d Bavuma told the media on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Men\u2019s team, we certainly respect the results the women\u2019s team have achieved there. The group has been inspired by the efforts of the women\u2019s team. We\u2019ve not had conversations about it formally, but within our small groups we will definitely be looking to ride that wave and put in good performances for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three-match Pakistan ODI series, starting at SuperSport Park on Friday, will be Bavuma\u2019s first assignment as national one-day international captain. The Highveld Lions batsman was installed as the first Black African Proteas\u2019 captain last month when he replaced Quinton de Kock as skipper of both the ODI and T20I teams.<\/p>\n

He will have the responsibility of leading the Proteas to both the T20I World Cup in India later this year and the 50-overs World Cup in 2023. The journey therefore begins this week with a side that has not played any ODI\u2019s since whitewashing Australia 3-0 more than a year ago.<\/p>\n

ALSO READ: Will Temba Bavuma be able to change the Proteas\u2019 World Cup luck?<\/p>\n

It is definitely a new beginning for the Proteas\u2019 Men\u2019s team and Bavuma is confident that he already has the core group that will accompany him to India in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I look at the ODI squad now, we have 22 players, and that\u2019s a big squad. They can take comfort from the fact that the World Cup squad will be coming from this group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an opportunity now and they will know where they can potentially fit in. It is always nice to see new faces and it is important that they keep putting in these performances. Sometimes it\u2019s almost easy to get into the national team, but the hard part is to keep putting in these performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proteas ODI squad:<\/b><\/p>\n
