Proteas Call Up Kwena Maphaka And Corbin Bosch For Pakistan Test Series

The Proteas on Wednesday announced two uncapped quick bowlers in their Test squad to take on Pakistan , in a two-match series starting in Centurion on Boxing Day.

Teenage sensation Kwena Maphaka and Corbin Bosch were the new faces included in the squad. Maphaka was also part of the Test squad against Sri Lanka, but did not play in either match.

If South Africa win both Tests against Pakistan, they will secure their place in the World Test Championship WTC final at Lords in June.

Proteas coach Shukri Conrad said their sights were firmly set on making it to the WTC final.

We head into this series with a clear focus, with a spot in the World Test Championship final being the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Weve selected a squad which gives us the best chance to achieve that, said Conrad.
