Former South Africa player JP Duminy has high hopes for SA20 as the latest season yet again provides thrills and spills for cricket fans around the globe. Duminy, who spoke to the media on the sidelines of the SA20, stated that the league has a long-term vision that could benefit players and South African players. He also believes comparing IPL and SA20 would be unfair; however, both are helping young cricketers grow.<h2>Duminy backs SA20 for long-term success</h2>“SA20 is a long-term vision and, more importantly, there's a strong focus on South African talent with a world-class framework. I think it is a perfect opportunity for the youngsters to unearth their talent and get a platform. The SA20 is such a platform where it's a high-pressure environment and top-class environment where South African selectors get to choose the best talent available,” Duminy said while speaking virtually to WION’s Aditya Pimpale on the sidelines of SA20.&nbsp;Comparing the SA20 with IPL, Duminy reckons South African players will also reap rewards, but will take time. According to him, IPL set the benchmark, which started in 2008 and SA20 can follow a similar pattern in the coming years.&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-steve-smith-to-joe-root-5-active-batters-with-most-runs-in-ashes-ben-stokes-jonny-bairstow-usman-khawaja-1762275784636">From Steve Smith to Joe Root, 5 active batters with most runs in Ashes</a>&nbsp;“You're rubbing shoulders, as you've seen in IPL.

South Africa will be without limited-overs stalwarts Hashim Amla and JP Duminy for their white-ball tour of Australia next month but welcome back all-rounder Chris Morris from injury.

Amla and Duminy have been sidelined along with 20-year-old all-rounder Wiaan Mulder as South Africa juggle a number of injury concerns.

Morris had been a regular in the limited-overs side before missing series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in 2018, and is likely to play a key role Down Under.

Also returning to the squad are all-rounders Farhaan Behardien and Dwaine Pretorius, while veteran seamer Dale Steyn has been included after he made a successful return to international action in the recent series against Zimbabwe.

"Chris confirmed his fitness with his excellent form for the Titans in the first two rounds of the 4-Day Domestic Series," Cricket South Africa (CSA) National Selection Panel (NSP) convener Linda Zondi said in a statement on Wednesday.&nbsp;

"He is the leading wicket-taker in this competition to date and also adds value as a batting option in the lower-order.

"With Wiaan Mulder ruled out at the moment through injury we need to look at our resources as far as batting all-rounder options are concerned and Dwaine, in particular, fits into this category.

"We have also lost a lot of experience in our specialist batting order through the injuries to Hashim Amla and JP Duminy, and Farhaan gives us another experienced option in the top order."

South Africa will play three one-day internationals, starting in Perth on Nov. 4, followed by a one-off Twenty20 international on the Gold Coast on Nov. 17.
