Coach Shukri Conrad has announced his side for the two-match Test series to be played in Durban and Gqeberha.
Captain Temba Bavuma has been included in a 14-man Proteas squad for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka after passing a fitness test.
Meanwhile, all-rounder Marco Jansen and fast bowler Gerald Coetzee return to the Test setup for the first time since the series against India last summer. “We’ve picked the strongest possible side to ensure we stay competitive and keep our hopes alive for a place in the World Test Championship final,” says Proteas coach Shukri Conrad.
“It’s great to have Temba back leading the side after his recovery. His leadership and skill are invaluable to the team. I’d also like to thank Aiden for stepping up and captaining the side so successfully during the Bangladesh series.
