South Africa's cricket team has announced its squad for the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh, with the return of fast bowler Anrich Nortje, who has recovered from a groin injury. Batsmen Tony de Zorzi and Zubayr Hamza also return to the squad after missing the recent series against Australia due to injuries. Temba Bavuma will continue as captain. The first Test will be played in Johannesburg from November 15 to 19, followed by the second in Centurion from November 23 to 27. South Africa recently secured a 2-1 series victory over Australia, propelling them to the top of the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings.
Following their series win over Australia, South Africa's head coach Shukri Conrad aims to carry the momentum into the Bangladesh series. The team will focus on its seam-bowling options, given the traditionally pace-friendly conditions on the Highveld. The squad features a mix of experienced players and newcomers, with an emphasis on strengthening the pace attack and batting depth.
