Proteas Skipper Bavuma Out Of First Bangladesh Test, Maiden Red-ball Call-up For Brevis

Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the first Test against Bangladesh due to an arm injury.

Cricket South Africa said in a statement on Friday that scans revealed a triceps muscle train in Bavuma's left arm.

Bavuma will travel with the team to Dhaka on Tuesday and continue his recovery under the supervision of the Proteas medical staff. The Proteas top brass are hopeful that Bavuma would be available for the second Test.

With Bavuma under an injury cloud, Titans batsman Dewald Brevis has been added to the squad as cover. It's the 21-year-old Brevis's maiden Test call-up. He played for South Africa A against Sri Lanka A last month, where he scored 49 and 74 in the second four-day match.
