Aiden Markram to lead South Africa in Tests, Bavuma misses out due to calf strain
It is worth noting that regular skipper Tamba Bavuma will be unavailable for South Africaโs two Test matches against Pakistan; the star batter misses out due to calf strain, and Aiden Markram will be leading the Proteas in his absence.
The sideโs head coach, Shukri Conrad, came forward and talked about Bavuma missing the test series as well. “Temba’s calf strain will unfortunately keep him sidelined for six to eight weeks, but the focus is on giving him the best chance to be fully ready for the India tour in November,โ Conrad was quoted as saying by ESPN.
