Jack Edwards receives ODI cap after 40-hour journey from India

Jack Edwards received his first ODI cap from Australia captain Pat Cummins on the Kingsmead outfield after a 40-hour trip from east coast India. The 26-year-old had been preparing for an Australia A match against India A in Puducherry when selectors called him into the ODI squad.

Edwards broke his foot in February and spent three months in a moon boot, missing his planned IPL debut with Sunrisers Hyderabad. He said Cummins joked about the yellow cap replacing the orange one he would have worn in the IPL.

The all-rounder conceded 21 runs in his first three overs but returned to bowl four of the final 11 overs, conceding 23 runs and restricting South Africa's middle order to a collective strike rate of 76.
