Duan Jansen earns maiden South Africa call-up for Namibia tour

Duan Jansen, twin brother of South Africa all-rounder Marco Jansen, has earned his first senior call-up for the white-ball tour of Namibia. He was named Division 1 One Day Cup Player of the Year after scoring an unbeaten 61 in the final for the Titans.

The 15-member squad, led by Bjorn Fortuin, will play a T20I tri-series against Namibia and Zimbabwe before a three-match ODI series against Namibia. Eathan Bosch is the other uncapped T20I player, while Connor Esterhuizen, Jordan Hermann and Nqobani Mokoena have earned their first ODI caps.

Coach Shukri Conrad said the tour provides valuable exposure for domestic performers ahead of next year's ODI World Cup co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. The squad departs Johannesburg on August 25.
