South Africa introduced four changes to their playing XI of the second Test match against the West Indies, starting tomorrow at the Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg.
Keshav Maharaj has been brought in place of Anrich Nortje, who got ruled out of the upcoming Test due to a mild groin discomfort.
Simon Harmer has been preferred over Marco Jansen as the former's brilliant record at the venue has called for his inclusion in the XI. Moreover, as stated by the Proteas red-ball coach Shukri Conrad, Jansen deserved a break.
Keegan Peterson, who only made his return in the first Test of the ongoing series, is sidelined and Ryan Rickelton earns a spot on the back of a brilliant domestic season.
Senuran Muthusamy has made way for Wiaan Mulder. Muthusamy played as an all-rounder in the previous game, however, bowled only eight overs and could not get going with the bat either.
Notably, South Africa are 1-0 up in the two-match series.
South Africa XI for second Test: Dean Elgar, Aiden Markram, Tony de Zorzi, Temba Bavuma (c), Ryan Rickelton, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj, Simon Harmer, Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee
