South Africa will field debutant Corbin Bosch in their first test against Pakistan , starting on Boxing Day, as captain Temba Bavuma revealed the line-up on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old Bosch joins Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada and Dane Paterson in the home attack, getting an opportunity because of a long injury list that sees Ottneil Baartman, Nandre Burger, Gerald Coetzee, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje and Lizaad Williams all out because of injury or lack of fitness.
“I think Corbin adds an extra element to our bowling attack, he comes with the extra pace. Obviously, a big, strong guy as well, so one of the guys who can hit the deck hard. South Africa are chasing a win that would guarantee them a place in next June’s World Test Championship, as they sit top of the standings after winning their last five tests.
