Just as was the case against Afghanistan and Ireland in limited overs series earlier this year, South Africa s aim has been to grow the depth within their squad.
This was apparent in South Africas 3-1 T20 International T20I series defeat to India after the Proteas lost the fourth and final match to India on Friday.
South Africa drew a T20I series against Ireland in the UAE, lost an ODI series against Afghanistan in September and before that they were whitewashed by hosts West Indies in their ODI series in August.
Proteas limited overs coach Rob Walter said that although the performances from his troops were below par, there was a bigger picture.
However, it was difficult to see the bigger picture on Friday as India bludgeoned the Proteas attack as the visitors posted an incredible 283/1 batting first. It ended with a 135-run defeat for the Proteas at the Wanderers.
