The South African cricket team will enter Bangladesh on October 16 to play two Tests of the ICC Champions Trophy. Two matches will be played in Mirpur and Chittagong. Considering the condition of Bangladesh and keeping in mind the fight for the Test Championship, the Proteas have announced a strong team.
South Africa’s coach Shukri Conrad has an idea of what Bangladesh’s game plan might be. Besides, spinners will play a big role in sub-continental conditions. So he has kept three spinners in the 15 member squad. About the spinners, coach Konrad said, ‘We have three great spinners and each of them has the ability to step up whenever the team needs. We are confident in the depth and versatility of the squad to meet the challenges of Bangladesh.
The squad has star spinners like Keshav Maharaj. He is accompanied by Senuran Muthusamy and Dan Peet. Matthew Britsky is waiting to make his Test debut in the squad. Recently, Britsky has caught quite a lot of attention in Afghanistan and Ireland series.
Experienced Kagisu Rabada, Nandre Berger, Dane Patterson are expert pacers in the team. Vian Mulder is the pace bowling all-rounder. Aiden Markram, Tony De Georgi, Tristan Stubb and Bedingham are ready to handle the responsibility with Temba Bavuma in batting.
The squad has two wicketkeeper batsmen Ryan Rickelton and Kyle Verena. Ashwell Prince will accompany the Protea team on this tour as batting coach. Before this, he served as the batting coach of Bangladesh. Test matches of the two teams will start on October 21 in Mirpur and October 29 in Chittagong.
