• CSA has recalled David Bedingham, Simon Harmer and Kyle Verreynne from county cricket ahead of the Proteas’ home summer, starting 9 October.
• All three will miss the final three rounds of the County Championship.
• South Africa’s home Test summer features series against Australia, Bangladesh and England.
• Harmer has been recalled despite being on a hybrid CSA contract.
• Beyers Swanepoel has also returned home due to his domestic cricket commitments following his recent disciplinary issues.

Starting a new job in Sandton City, Sandton and looking for recommendations on where to live.

Main priorities are safety and keeping the commute to under 20 minutes in traffic.

Currently considering Atholl, Illovo, Parkmore, Hyde Park and Morningside, but open to other suggestions.

Which areas or specific apartment complexes would you recommend?

Bjorn Fortuin has been named captain of a young Proteas squad for the upcoming white-ball tour of Namibia.

South Africa will first play a T20I tri-series against Namibia and Zimbabwe from 28 August in Windhoek, followed by a three-match ODI series against Namibia.

Squad: Bjorn Fortuin (c), Eathan Bosch, Dewald Brevis, Tony de Zorzi, Connor Esterhuizen, Jordan Hermann, Rubin Hermann, Duan Jansen, Kwena Maphaka, Nqobani Mokoena, Nqaba Peter, Lhuan-dré Pretorius, Lutho Sipamla, Jason Smith and Prenelan Subrayen.

A few interesting selections:

• Duan Jansen earns his maiden Proteas call-up after a strong domestic season.
• Eathan Bosch is uncapped at T20I level.
• Connor Esterhuizen, Jordan Hermann and Nqobani Mokoena receive maiden ODI call-ups.
• Brothers Jordan and Rubin Hermann are both included.
• Fortuin gets an opportunity to captain the national side.

A very young-looking squad, but plenty of talent in there with Brevis, Maphaka, Pretorius and the Hermann brothers.

What do you think of the squad? Anyone you would have liked to see included?
