Dolphins all-rounder Muthusamy makes SA ‘A’ squad
The left-handed batsman has been rewarded for his good form with bat and ball for the Durban based franchise.
HOLLYWOODBETS Dolphins’ all-rounder Senuran Muthusamy has been called up to join the South Africa A squad set to face Australia in a tour match to be played at Sahara Park Willowmore from February 22 to 24.
This 23-year-old has over time proved to everyone that he has what it takes to reach the pinnacle of his cricket career and he is going about it the right way. Having played just 52 First-class matches, the young left-hander has amassed 2649 runs and taken 82 wickets.
Muthusamy displayed a great amount of aptitude as an all-rounder in the recent Momentum One Day Cup campaign, but the four-day Sunfoil Series is where the Clifton College old boy made his mark in the Dolphins set up.

“I think that I’ve learned more about myself and what helps me do well,” explained Muthusamy, “I’ve really tried to be as consistent as I can in my preparation and performances over the past few months.
“It was not a complete surprise as I have planned on moving my career forward through consistent performances with bat and ball – it’s a huge honour and I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to represent the SA A team.”
The chance to face some of the world’s premier bowlers will give Muthusamy a solid gauge on where he stands.
“It is a terrific opportunity to experience playing against Australia, and test myself against some high-quality players,” he said.

As many other cricket players have role models and fellow cricketers whom they look up to, Muthusamy admires fellow left-hander, Kumar Sangakkara.
“Somebody I’ve always enjoyed watching is Kumar Sangakkara from Sri Lanka; apart from being a good cricketer he is a good human being and a humble man,” Muthusamy concluded.
Muthusamy will join his Hollywoodbets Dolphins captain Khayelihle Zondo who has been selected to captain the side.
