Rossouw growing in confidence

Rossouw growing in confidence

Rilee Rossouw is beginning to feel at home in the Proteas squad.

Rossouw scored two centuries in the recent ODI series victory over West Indies. This after a slow start to his international career including a string of ducks.

Rossouw says his self-esteem has certainly been boosted.

''At the beginning it was a bit tough because I felt a little bit intimidated to play with guys that are legends of the game. Guys like Hashim Alma, AB De Villiers, Faf du Plesis and Dale Steyn. I mean you don't really feel part of it until you actually score runs. I feel a lot more settled now,'' Rossouw said.
 
Rossouw fancies his chances at the World Cup next month. He has toured Australia with South Africa A and has fond memories of that trip.

''I feel pretty confident with the SA A tour behind me. I scored a couple of runs there. Going to Australia where it is similar to South Africa. I feel quite confident going there representing my country,'' he added.

The Proteas will start their World Cup campaign against Zimbabwe on 15 February.
