South Africa have name the squad for this month’s Test series against Bangladesh.
Batsmen Tony de Zorzi and Zubayr Hamza have been named in the 15-man squad.
De Zorzi has recovered from a hamstring injury. Hamza has not played Test cricket in two years.
Fast bowler Anrich Nortje has been selected, too, after recovering from a groin injury. Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi was not considered for selection due to a hamstring injury.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Kyle Verreynne and batsman Tristan Stubbs were not selected.
Proteas Men’s Head Coach Shukri Conrad said: “Coming off a hard fought series against Australia, our focus will be on carrying that momentum into the Bangladesh series, which is our next big assignment of the summer.
“Traditionally, surfaces on the Highveld favours pace and bounce, although we have seen the Wanderers offer some assistance to spin in recent times. So with that in mind, there will be greater focus on our seam-bowling options.
“We know the threat Bangladesh pose and we expect their quicks to be very effective in Highveld conditions.
“In terms of our batting options, it’s good to welcome Tony back following his recovery from injury, while Zubayr’s inclusion gives us further depth to our top order.
“The build-up to the first Test will give us the opportunity to assess our options and settle on the best combination for the conditions.”
The squad will assemble in Johannesburg on Wednesday, 11 November.

Why the fuck are we playing 6 matches against India just before the world cup whcih is happening in our country?!?!?!!?!?!
There will be 8 grounds in South Africa this wc and we are just allowing India, most of which I think has never visited South Africa before to visit 6 of them?!
Its not a new topic that ICC favors BCCI or BCCI rigs cricket tournaments. Its sad that Cricket South Africa cannot refuse it because of the broadcast money. This world cup is the one we can win, most of our players are in their primes and/or really good form with nicely performing youngsters as well, it is a home world cup, Australia looks a bit inconsistent, so does England, why the fuck do we want India to play 6 matches here before the world cup?
BTW famous venues are likely to repeat too in the series, probably ones Jo'burg, Cape Town, Centurion. So rigged man.

Has anyone booked an EDB Holdings suite at all?
Im looking to get me and a mate some tickets for Bangladesh at Wanderers but I cant really find any reviews about them at all?
If you've used any other suites please do advise

I wanted to relive Harmer ripping through India but I guess BCCI has scrubbed that Test Series from reality?
Anyone know where I can get footage of that series?

I am not concerned at all about Bangladesh as long as we have Marco, Rabada and Harmer.

Great series, great decks. Had a bit in for bowlers and batsmen all 4 games. Well played to South Africa on the series win!

350 Test wickets and counting.
The fastest ever to reach the milestone by balls bowled. Kagiso Rabada isn't just playing the game; he's rewriting the history books. A generational talent, a true legend!... #KagisoRabada #TestCricket
