Rice may get Springbok cap after 20 years.
JOHANNESBURG. Oct 25 : After a wait of 20 years Clive Rice may finally get Springbok cap he has
cherished for so long, reports Reuter.
Then a 22-year-old budding all-rounder. Rice was selected tn South Africa's squad for the ’ 971 -72 tour of Australia. But before he had packed his bags the tour was aborted because of world revulsion at the system of apartheid.
South Africa was cast into, the international wilderness and with it Rice’s dreams.
This week's agreement by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to include post-apartheid South Africa in the World Cup in Australia and New Zc^'and early next yenr has opened up the possibility that his dream may at last be fulfilled.
Rice Is the only member of that last official South African sqaud still playing cricket and. although now aged 42 and nearing the end of his career, he will still be in strong contention for a place in the 14-man squad.
Peter Robinson, cricket writer at the Johannesburg Star newspaper, said nine years of experience with Nottinghamshire should clinch his first official Springbok berth.
But the task of the selectors will be tough, unenviable and probably unpopular.
"Do we look for a team that we can build on for the future? or do we pick the best side available to do the job in the short term?" asked national
selection convener Peter Van der Merwe on Thursday.
With South Africa already tipped as fourth favourites by London bookmakers, at 112 behind Australia, Pakistan and the West Indies,'the pressure is on to find a team which will be able to compensate for years of almost total isolation.
"The hard work for South Africa starts now," said Western Province captain Kepler Wessel?, back In the land of his birth after playing 24 Tests for Australia.
As one of the handful of South Africans with International experience at top level. Wessels will be In strong contention for one of the batting places.
A certain tv for the sqaud is opener Jimmy Cook whose
prolific English country form guarantees him a slot.
Should both Rice and Cook be selected the choice of captain would appear to be between them.
A possible opening partner for Cook would be Northern Transvaal captain Mandy Yachad whose maturity may give him the edge over other contenders.
Peter Kirsten, still an exciting batsman at the age of'36. may force his way into the sqaud while Mark Rushmere and Dariyl Cullinan are among the talented young batsmen who may catch the selectors eyes.
Allan Donald, rated one of the fastest bowlers In the world, looks certalh to spearhead the attack after his suc-
cess with English county side Warwickshire. Vying for places aldngside him will be Richard Snell, Tertius Bosch and Craig Matthews.
The choice of wicketkeeper appears to lie between Ray Jennings anti Dave Richardson.
Transvaal's Clive Eksteen and Tim Shaw of Eastern Province are the main contenders to take over from veteran spinner Omar Heniy, the first non-white to play for the Springboks during their matches against rebel overseas teams.
Van Der Merwe said the 14-man squad would be picked soon after the February 1 final of the local Nissan Shield limited overs competition.
