South Africa is currently playing the white-ball series in Australia, and they are once again rebuilding their powerful and impactful batting order after the sudden retirement as well as dip in form of former cricketers. They have released the likes of David Miller, while Heinrich Klaasen and Quinton de Kock have announced their retirement.
Breetzke entered the record books in his debut game for South Africa, as he became the player with the highest score in ODIs on debut. He racked up 150 in his first match against New Zealand, which was played in the tri-series in Pakistan ahead of the Champions Trophy this year.
Matthew Breetzke's first four ODI matches in his career:
83(84) vs Pakistan, Karachi
88(78) vs Australia, Mackay

On the other hand, former South African veteran Kepler Wessels, regarded as one of the most famous players to have switched sides in cricket history, also scored four fifties in his first four matches for South Africa, but it was only after he had already represented Australia 54 times in the format.
