The 21-year-old player, who has started every game for the Chiefs this season, believes he will not miss out on the two high-profile international games, according to SowetanLIVE.
Blom, who made his Chiefs debut in a league game against Golden Arrows in June 2019, has been played as a right-back this season, which is not the position he played in before.
The midfielder-turned-defender, who made his senior debut for Kaizer Chiefs in 2019 at the age of 19 and helped the team reach the CAF Champions League final last season, is now looking forward to making his international debut, according to the Kaizer Chiefs website.

Siyanda Xulu has high hopes for Bafana Bafana and sets goals
In other soccer news, Briefly News reported that despite the fact that Bafana Bafana is in the midst of a rebuilding phase, qualifying for the FIFA World Cup next year remains a top priority.
As they prepare for the two qualifiers against Zimbabwe on Friday and Ghana on Monday, defender Siyanda Xulu believes this.
While coach Hugo Broos has previously stated that South Africans should not expect much from the team because the majority of the players are new, Xulu insists that they intend to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar next year and the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast in 2023.
