# Duan Jansen, Marco’s twin, gets maiden South Africa call-up 2026-08-12T01:49:17+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet All-rounder Duan Jansen, twin brother of South Africa star Marco Jansen, has earned his first senior national call-up for the upcoming white-ball tour of Namibia, the Times of India reports. The 15-member squad will be led by spinner Bjorn Fortuin. Duan was named Division 1 One Day Cup Player of the Year after a strong domestic season, including an unbeaten 61 in the Titans' title-winning final. The tour includes a T20I tri-series with Namibia and Zimbabwe in Windhoek from August 28 to September 6, followed by a historic three-match ODI series against Namibia from September 9 to 13, the first bilateral 50-over contest between the neighbours. Eathan Bosch is the other uncapped T20I player, while Connor Esterhuizen, Jordan Hermann and Nqobani Mokoena received first ODI call-ups. Coach Shukri Conrad said the same squad builds continuity and depth ahead of next year's World Cup. ## Coverage - sports.ndtv.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Bjorn Fortuin, cricket selection, Duan Jansen, Marco Jansen, Namibia tour, South Africa cricket Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bjorn-fortuin-named-sa-captain-for-namibia-duan-jansen-called-up/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
