CAST IN A LIMBO SA20 success won't fix South African cricket's broken trust Telford Vice Share TweetSouth Africa crashed out of the T20 World Cup after losing to the Netherlands ©GettyCricket in South Africa has been cast into limbo, a numb and numbing place pervaded by an anxious wait to exhale. Temba Bavuma will not play any competitive cricket before he steps back into his role, in Australia, as the rock of South Africa's Test middle order. How is he supposed to scrape himself off the canvas in the wake of the T20 World Cup catastrophe? The start of what is being heralded as South African cricket's financial saving grace, the SA20, is still 46 days away - 46 days that will feel like purgatory. South Africa will then host the women's T20 World Cup followed by West Indies for men's series in all formats before the Netherlands arrive for two ODIs, also pandemic leftovers.
