Loots Bosman is a hard-hitting opening batsman who moved from Griqualand West to the Eagles and has enjoyed much success with them. Bosman was a key figure in South Africa A's campaign in a triangular one-day tournament in Sri Lanka in 2005-06, but it was his exploits at home that earned him a call-up to the squad for the Twenty20 International against Australia in mid-February. His 22-ball fifty against the Highveld Lions in February was the fastest in the Standard Bank Pro20 series. Player of the Series in last year's edition, Bosman became the first batsman to score a century in the competition, reaching three figures in just 43 balls. He failed to get going in this year's final, but his contributions to the Eagles clinching the Pro20 title was enough to garner him a look-in for the Twenty20 side. Bosman was called up for the tri-series in Sri Lanka, also featuring India, but did not get a chance to play after South Africa withdrew over security concerns. He has, however, found a place in South Africa's 14-man squad for the Champions Trophy and made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe at home in mid-September. Bosman only got one match in the Champions Trophy, but against India at home he struggled against the new ball in every game. Bosman was awarded the Man-of-the-Match award for his unbeaten 32-ball 53 in a ten-wicket win over Pakistan in a Twenty20 match at Johannesburg, but played just one game in the best-of-five ODI series that followed, and made four. He was included in South Africa's World Cup squad, but only made a single appearance. He was picked for the ICC World Twenty20 but missed the event due to a back injury.
