  • Before suffering a series-ending injury in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Durban, Wiaan Mulder was one of the first players on Shukri Conrad's Proteas Test teamsheet. Mulder had established himself as South Africa's premier all-rounder after coming back in to the Test side against the West Indies in August.

Wiaan Mulder, the South African all-rounder, has expressed a newfound sense of belonging in the Proteas team after overcoming a series of injuries and inconsistent performances. Previously, Mulder felt like an outsider due to his frequent in-and-out status in the team, which was exacerbated by injuries like a torn side muscle and a groin issue. His return to the squad for the ODI series against Sri Lanka marks a significant moment, as he now feels he has earned his place through hard work and perseverance. Mulder's recent performances, including a notable contribution in the SA20, have boosted his confidence, and he is eager to make a lasting impact in the national side, especially with the upcoming T20 World Cup in mind.
