In a strategic move following their recent success, South Africa has announced two changes to their squad for the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh. David Bedingham and Kyle Verreynne have been dropped from the 15-member lineup, which comes on the heels of their impressive 2-1 series victory over Australia. Captain Temba Bavuma will continue to lead the team, which has reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the ICC Test rankings after a remarkable home summer.
Returning to the squad is Tony de Zorzi, alongside Zubayr Hamza, who has also been included after recovering from injury. Anrich Nortje, who had been sidelined with a groin injury, is set to make his return as well, bolstering the team's bowling options. The first Test against Bangladesh is scheduled to take place at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg from November 15 to 19, while the second Test will follow shortly after.S2
