Proteas interim head coach Malibongwe Maketa will use the four-day match against a Cricket Australia XI to fit the final pieces of his selection puzzle together before the Test series starting next week.

The match at Allan Border Field in Brisbane from Friday will be followed by three Test matches at The Gabba in Brisbane , the MCG in Melbourne and Sydney Cricket Ground .

With some tough training sessions under their belts, Maketa believes the match will offer him the opportunity to give his players time in the middle. “It is an important match for us. Some of our guys are coming off good performances at home, but getting here and being exposed to the wickets will be crucial for us,” Maketa told a virtual press conference on Tuesday.“He has impressed a lot of the guys in the squad who may not have seen much of him, so we are excited about what he brings.

Maketa is confident the players who were part of the underperforming World Cup T20 squad had laid to rest those demons.
