CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA (CSA) today named four uncapped players in the Test match format in the Castle Lager Proteas squad for the two-match series in Bangladesh in July and August.

They are the Knights opening batsman, Reeza Hendricks, Nashua Cape Cobras wicketkeeper, Dane Vilas, and the bizhub Highveld Lions duo of spinner, Aaron Phangiso, and fast bowler, Kagiso Rabada.


All four have previously represented the Proteas in the limited overs formats.


“The changes have been brought about partly by the retirement of Alviro Petersen and the non-availability of AB de Villiers who has been granted paternity leave,” explained CSA selection convener, Andrew Hudson. “Reeza and Stiaan van Zyl are both options to open the batting and Stiaan can also be used in AB’s batting position in the middle-order. Dane provides us with the wicketkeeping cover that would normally also be AB’s responsibility.


“Aaron gives us a left-arm spin bowling option and we see this as the ideal opportunity to involve Kagiso in the Test team environment once again, so he will be the back-up fast bowling option.”

 

Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander are  being rested for the three-match ODI Series and the players brought in are fast bowlers, Chris Morris of The Unlimited Titans and Rabada, as well as the Sunfoil Dolphins all-rounder, Ryan McLaren. The remainder of the squad that went to the ICC World Cup has been retained.

 

The bizhub Highveld Lions leg-spinner, Eddie Leie, is the only uncapped player included in the Ticketpro Proteas T20 squad. Again a number of senior players have been rested including Steyn, Morne Morkel and Imran Tahir.

 

“With next year’s ICC World Twenty20 to be played in India we need to explore our bowling options under sub-continent conditions,” commented Hudson. “Morris has done well in the IPL as have David Wiese and Beuran Hendricks and this tour represents an important opportunity to broaden their international playing experience.”

 

Castle Lager Proteas Test squad: Hashim Amla (Nashua Cape Cobras, capt), Dean Elgar (The Unlimited Titans), Reeza Hendricks (Knights), Faf du Plessis (The Unlimited Titans), Stiaan van Zyl (Nashua Cape Cobras), JP Duminy (Nashua Cape Cobras), Quinton de Kock (The Unlimited Titans), Vernon Philander (Nashua Cape Cobras), Dale Steyn (Nashua Cape Cobras), Morne Morkel (The Unlimited Titans), Aaron Phangiso (bizhub Highveld Lions), Simon Harmer (Warriors), Temba Bavuma (bizhub Highveld Lions), Kagiso Rabada (bizhub Highveld Lions), Dane Vilas (Nashua Cape Cobras).
