South Africa bowler Dwaine Pretorius said that he is happy to do an ugly but effective job with the ball as long as it benefits the team. Proteas captain Temba Bavuma has regularly entrusted his all-rounder to bowl the crucial death overs where he uses a mixture of slower-ball variations to restrict opposition batters. Speedsters Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, plus ICC Men`s T20I Player Rankings No.1 bowler Tabraiz Shamsi, have all caught the eye ahead of Tuesday`s clash against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi, but Pretorius is happy to plug away even if his skills are arguably not the prettiest.

"If I can do a job for the team, again, and put us in a better situation, I`m willing to do that ugly job if you want to call it that - something that doesn`t always necessarily look the prettiest but it`s very effective. And I`ve built my whole career on that. So, I`m trying to do the best job that I can do for the team," said Pretorius in an official ICC release.
