Kaizer Chiefs coach Khalil Ben Youssef has aimed a pointed question at Bafana Bafana mentor Hugo Broos following the clash with Mamelodi Sundowns.
Amakhosi held the Brazilians to a 1-1 draw in a Betway Premiership encounter at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday night.

Ben Youssef was delighted with the impressive displays from several of his charges, who he believes are ready for the national team football.
He questioned what more his players need to do to earn a call-up, noting that Broos previously considered Sekhukhune United players because they were in third place—the exact position Chiefs currently occupy in the standings.
“From our side, like I said, the most important for us is to have at least three or four players in Bafana Bafana,” said Ben Youssef.
“When the list of Bafana Bafana will find at least minimum three, four players from Kaizer Chiefs than you know that the team is coming and is ready to compete for the league.
“I think it’s not because I’m the coach of Kaizer Chiefs, but I think some of our players deserve to get a chance considering the performances they’re showing, considering their consistency.
“I think I remember one of the press conferences, the coach [Broos], he said that he thinks about Sekhukhune team because they were in third position, not about our team.
“I think now the performance of the team is there. The consistency is there. Everybody discusses about our players. So, what do they have to do to be part of Bafana Bafana? That’s my question.”
