Nineteen-year-old Wiaan Mulder is still processing his unexpected call-up to the Standard Bank Proteas One-Day International (ODI) squad for the remaining two matches of the Momentum ODI series against Bangladesh. Mulder was withdrawn from the bizhub Highveld Lions’ Sunfoil Series match taking place in Potchefstroom last night, a whirlwind 24 hours that has resulted in the culmination of a dream come true.Mulder, who has two first-class hundreds and 33 wickets since making his debut last year, says he would like to develop into a ‘genuine all-rounder’ that can contribute successfully with both bat and ball. He is another South Africa U19 success story following in the steps of Kagiso Rabada, Andile Phehlukwayo and Aiden Markram, and will be following a similar recipe for success from his peers. Proteas coach, Ottis Gibson, says Mulder’s call-up is another opportunity to groom a potential player for the future. Mulder is unlikely to play on Wednesday, with the coach hinting at sticking with a winning combination, but will no doubt gain valuable insight and knowledge of the demands of international cricket. The Proteas have an opportunity to seal the series in the second match at Eurolux Boland Park on Wednesday, following the 10-wicket romp in Kimberley on Sunday.
