Champions Trophy: Temba Still Has A Couple Of Years Left In Him, Says Philander
Former South Africa: Former South Africa fast bowler Vernon Philander has backed Temba Bavuma to continue leading South Africa in ODIs, saying that the right-handed batter still has a couple of years left in him to be at the helm.
Philander’s comments come after South Africa lost their 2025 Champions Trophy semi-final to New Zealand by 50 runs at the Gaddafi Stadium. South Africa were tasked with chasing down 363, and despite Bavuma’s 56, Rassie van der Dussen’s 69 and David Miller’s unbeaten hundred off 67 balls, they eventually made 312/9.
"I think he's a fantastic leader. I think what he has done over the last 24 months is that he has started to win that change room over. I think he's done phenomenally well in the Test match arena (where they will play the 2025 championship final) and I don't think we play near enough ODI cricket to play judgement down on it.
