While the semi-finals of the current T20 World Cup only starts on Wednesday, the Proteas are looking to towards next year's event.

Rossouw was the stand-out player for the Itec Knights during the recent CSA T20 Knockout in Bloemfontein and Kimberley.

During the T20 Knockout, Rossouw, was the leading run-scorer with 295 runs at an average of 98.33. In the process he recorded a highest score of 112*, scored two fifties, and hit 22 hours and 13 sixes.

Speaking after the Proteas arrival from Dubai, Boucher, said they have taken notice of Rossouw's performance with the bat.

“With regards to the Kolpak guys, we've have always said that the guys need to come back into our system and do really well.

“We will judge them on how they play in our system, we can't judge them on what they've done abroad.

“There have been quite a few players that have done really well. Rilee Rossouw is one of them and another one is Wayne Parnell.

“If they are going about their business in our system then there is no reason for us not to look at them and add some more depth to our Proteas squad.”

On 26 November the Proteas will face the Netherlands at SuperSport Park in the first of three One-Day internationals.
