South Africa Pick Three Spinners For Bangladesh Test Series

South African cricket coach Shukri Conrad on Monday named three spin bowlers in a 15-man squad to play two Tests in Bangladesh next month. The squad was announced on the same day that it was confirmed that South Africa will play Test matches in Dhaka and Chattogram. The decision was taken following a security assessment by a South African delegation in the country -- more than 200 people died in political protests in Bangladesh earlier this year. Left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy was recalled to the squad for the first time since March 2023. He will join fellow left-armer Keshav Maharaj and off-spinner Dane Piedt. Only three specialist seam bowlers -– Kagiso Rabada, Nandre Burger and Dane Paterson -– were selected, along with seam bowling all-rounder Wiaan Mulder.

After seeing fellow left-arm orthodox spinner Jomel Warrican (4-69) lead the home side's effort in eventually dismissing the visitors on the third morning, Maharaj knew he had the chance to take the fight to the West Indies' top order. And his variations of flight and pace claimed the wickets of Mikyle Louis, debutant Keacy Carty and left-hander Alick Athanaze, among three rain interruptions. "It's really about keeping it simple and being consistent and repetitive in conditions like this... and I like repetitions," said Maharaj at the end of play.
