KNYSNA NEWS - Former Knysna Primary School learner Tristan Stubbs' meteoric rise up the Cricket South Africa over the past 15 months has culminated in him being called up to the Proteas for their upcoming T20I series against India in June.
Stubbs' maiden call-up to the national side will see him part of the squad that will play five games in India.
He enjoyed a phenomenal season in the colours of the Warriors during the 2022 CSA T20 Challenge where he finished as the second-highest run scorer in the competition, making it virtually impossible for national selectors to ignore him.
His exploits included 293 runs in seven matches at an average of 48,83 and a strike-rate of 183,12, including three half-centuries. Two innings of note came when he smashed 80* off just 31 balls against the Dolphins, and 65 off 35 balls against the Knights.
As a reward for his domestic success he was selected as part of the South Africa A squad to tour Zimbabwe earlier this month - for whom he played two games with a top score of 39* off 37 balls. He was later called up to replace Tymal Mills at the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has only played one match for the Mumbai Indians so far, against the Chennai Super Kings on 12 May.
