South Africa Twenty20 squad (v England): AB de Villiers (Captain), F Behardien, R Hendricks, I Tahir, D Miller, M Morkel, C Morris, M Mosehle (wkt), W Parnell, D Paterson, A Phehlukwayo, D Pretorius, T Shamsi, JJ Smuts. So we will have to wait and see what people out there want to decide or whoever is in control of making those kind of decisions. Prior to the Champions Trophy, South Africa had also lost the three-match ODI series against England 2-1.
While Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh called on his side to retain Champions Trophy, former England skipper Michael Vaughan is hoping to see the Kohli-led side in the finals against England. "The fielders backed our bowlers", Kohli said. Though South Africa have been using T20 matches to experiment and blood new players - as was the case against Sri Lanka when Farhaan Behardien led the side - they have combined youth and experience in this group.
"When the opportunity comes your way, you have to grab it".
It can be safely said that Prince has questioned AB de Villers as the South African captain has picked the series and tournaments he wants to be a part of over the recent past and this has not gone down well with the team which has never settled down as a unit.
The quick said: "We're not thinking about the semi-final right now". Most importantly, the bowlers again came to the party with a very resounding performance. "Not a lot of people believe me but I feel it is pretty close, it is very hard to say that after a performance like this but that is what I believe in my heart".
De Villiers, counted among the world's best batsmen, flopped miserably both as captain and team's chief batter in the tournament.

In addition, the US President is also expected to restrict permission for Americans to visit the island, The Guardian says. But on Friday, Trump, citing human rights violations, will sign an executive order in Miami on the new policy.
The series gets underway on June 21 at the Ageas Bowl, with further games at Taunton on June 23 and Cardiff on June 25.
"No one said it was going to be easy, but we do come up short for some reason in tournaments like this, and it is pretty sad", he said.
Most likely, India is set to play against Bangladesh in the semi-finals same as the quarter-finals of the 2015 World Cup.
Instead, they played their worst cricket when it mattered most and suffered their 19th nervous breakdown in the 20 International Cricket Council tournaments since readmission in 1991.
Whichever team triumphs will join title-holder India as one of the two Group B qualifiers for the semifinals of a tournament featuring the world's top eight one-day global teams.
"We couldn't it get away". De Villiers has already ruled himself out of the Test matches.
