South Africa have recalled middle-order batsman Ryan Rickelton and the spin duo of Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj for the second and final test against the West Indies at The Wanderers on Wednesday.
"Knowing the character he is, he is someone we can build our test side around. This is not a once-off opportunity, I think he is going to have a long test career."
"It looks an abrasive surface, the one end will be more seamer friendly than the other. We feel the wicket will offer quite a bit for the spinners." It places the batter under greater pressure after he was recently axed from the Twenty20 International squad because of his form.
