Western Province will welcome back four Proteas players for their 4-Day Series match against the EP Warriors at Newlands, which starts on Thursday.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Kyle Verreynne, batsmen Tony de Zorzi and David Bedingham, and bowler Dane Paterson will all be available.

WP are looking to make it two wins from two having begun their campaign with a victory against the KZN Dolphins at Kingsmead.

“We had a good win in Durban,” said WP all-rounder George Linde, who took his 250th first-class wicket against the Dolphins. “It’s not always easy in KZN, so we can take a lot of confidence from that result. I’m also looking forward to our first home game

“It’s always good to have our Proteas come back into the environment and hopefully we’ll have a good team performance. I love the spirit and the intensity they bring to training.”

WP squad: Kyle Simmonds, Mthi Nabe, Ollie Whitehead, Jono Bird, Bongi Mfunelwa, Liyema Waqu, Daniel Smith, Dane Paterson, Beuran Hendricks (c), Valentine Kitime, George Linde, Kyle Verreynne, Yaseen Vallie, Eddie Moore, Tony de Zorzi, David Bedingham.
