Rising Proteas T20I star Tristan Stubbs is looking to cement his spot in the Test team, and he has already received the backing of management to have a good run in the number three batting spot.

Stubbs was one of the surprise inclusions in the Proteas Test squad for their two-match series against hosts West Indies starting early next month.

Though Stubbs has already made an impression for SA in the 26 T20I s hes notched up, he has played just one One-Day International ODI and one Test.

Proteas Test coach Shukri Conrad , however, is adamant the youngster - who turns 24 just before the second match - will succeed in his new position.

Ive dealt with a lot of expectation before

Batting number three for the Test side is a huge opportunity and challenge and Im very thankful to the coach for backing me, Stubbs told SportsBoom.com in an exclusive interview.
