Namibia pulled off big shock after beating the Proteas by four wickets off the last ball in a one-off T20I played at the newly built cricket stadium in Windhoek on Saturday.
Kyle Verreynne says the Proteas will take inspiration from a successful tour to Bangladesh last year ahead of the Test series against Pakistan that starts in Lahore on Sunday.
The Proteas are preparing for extreme spin-friendly pitches in the upcoming Test series in Pakistan, with stand-in captain Aiden Markram saying they have "all bases covered" for conditions.
The Proteas will only play a three-match T20I series at home against West Indies in January 2026, instead of the original five, due to a clash with the T20 World Cup.
Veteran Proteas wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock has reversed his One Day International retirement after two years, and has been included in both the ODI and T20I squads to face Pakistan and Namibia.
Proteas captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of next month's two-match Test series in Pakistan due to a calf strain with Aiden Markram set to lead the red-ball team.
