ICC World Cup: South African Reeza Hendricks used to the waiting game

His World Cup debut came in unexpected circumstances on Saturday against defending champions England in stifling conditions at the Wankhede Stadium. Moments before the toss, skipper Temba Bavuma took ill and was not fit to play and Hendricks was given 10 minutes notice to get his kit on. That may have been a blessing in disguise as he let his instincts take over. Opening the batting, he scored 85 off 75 balls and added 124 runs for the second wicket with Rassie van der Dussen.
