Mosehle gets gloves as Miller moves up
Lions wicketkeeper will face Sri Lanka in first T20 match, says captain Farhaan Behardien
Proteas stand-in captain Farhaan Behardien confirmed that Lions wicketkeeper Mangaliso Mosehle will take the gloves in the first Twenty20 match against Sri Lanka in Centurion on Friday. Behardien also revealed that explosive batsman David Miller will move up the batting order to possibly No4, while a decision about which bowler will take the new ball will depend on the state of the pitch. The move to promote Miller up the order is seen as an attempt by the Proteas think-tank to pressurise Sri Lankans, who are still smarting from a 3-0 Test series whitewash. "Mangi [Mosehle] is definitely the No 1 glove man at the moment because that role is familiar to him‚ so he will wear the gloves‚" Behardien said on Thursday. "With regard to Miller‚ I will grant him his wish of batting higher because he has been very destructive over the past few months and the Knights have utilised him slightly up the order at No4.
