South Africa's tour of Sri Lanka: Five Proteas players who can make an impact

3. Morne Morkel

Morne Morkel will spearhead South Africa’s bowling attack as he makes a return to the side after spending a brief while in the dressing room at the Champions Trophy due to an injury that he picked up in the first competitive match of the tournament against India. The bowler has developed his set of skills over the last few years and will be a potent weapon if he can keep-up his line and length. His statistics do justice to his ability as in 61 appearances in the 50 over format, he has taken 104 wickets including 6 very impressive four-wicket spells and one five-for. It is said that bowlers hunt in pairs and having Dale Steyn at the other end has certainly helped him. Thus, it will be interesting to see how he bears the responsibility of being the lead bowler of the side.
