South Africa has announced a 16-player squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Pakistan, featuring two uncapped pace bowlers, Corbin Bosch and Dane Paterson. The series will be crucial for South Africa's bid to secure a spot in the ICC World Test Championship Final.
Proteas red-ball head coach Shukri Conrad has announced a 16-player squad for the two-match Test series against Pakistan. The squad includes two uncapped speedsters, Corbin Bosch and Dane Paterson . Bosch, 30, has been in fine form in first-class cricket, boasting an overall tally of 72 wickets at an average of 36.75 and an economy rate of 3.24 across 34 matches.Bosch recently featured in the SA Invitational XI side that defeated England Lions in Cape Town.
Paterson has also been included in the squad as he completes the final phase of his recovery from a fractured right middle finger, which kept him out of the second Test against Sri Lanka. The fast bowler sustained an acute groin strain on Tuesday during warm-ups ahead of the first One-Day International against Pakistan at Boland Park in Paarl. South African captain, Temba Bavuma, will lead the side in what marks the final Test series of the summer and the ICC World Test Championship 2023-2025 cycle, where South Africa currently occupy top spot. Commenting on the squad, Shukri said: “We head into this series with a clear focus, with a spot in the World Test Championship Final being the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We’ve selected a squad which gives us the best chance to achieve that. “It’s an exciting time for South African cricket and we’re particularly looking forward to this battle against Pakistan. They always pose a strong threat with the talented fast bowlers they produce and I expect it to be no different this time around. “In terms of our own squad, we have added Corbin to the mix. His all-round ability with both bat and ball adds depth and his pace brings an extra bite to our attack, so we’re excited to see him make that step up to Test cricket. “Dane Paterson really impressed us against Sri Lanka and we look forward to seeing him again. Overall, the pace attack is a really good one. We are keeping a close eye on Kesh (Keshav Maharaj) and hope his injury is not too serious
