Dafabet Second Test Match Squad Announcement 🚨
The South Africa Men’s selection panel has today named a 17-player squad for the second Dafabet Test against Australia, starting on Sunday, 18 October at Dafabet St George’s Park in Gqeberha.
There is one change to the squad from the first Test, with batter Matthew Breetzke replacing Tristan Stubbs, while Ryan Rickelton will take over the wicketkeeping duties for the second Test.
Tony de Zorzi was not considered for selection as the left-hander continues his recovery from a left hamstring injury.

BetootaAdvocate, an Australian satirical page with 1.2 million followers, joked that Bavuma destroyed a dressing room toilet after being dismissed by Renshaw.
It's a satirical post sure but seeing Glenn Maxwell among the likes was genuinely unexpected.
Bavuma on crowd attendance in the 1st Test:
“We saw that the stands were not full. We understand the situation in SA. Things are expensive. The prices of petrol, diesel & everything else have gone up, so it’s not easy for people to dip into their pockets & pay for tickets.”
Chad Laycock takes 5 wickets in a single over against the Titans, including a hat trick !!
W, 2, W, W, W, W
Finishes with 6 wickets in 4 overs at an economy of 6.5, 4 of them bowled.
Travis Head is a different breed altogether.
Imagine how much that WTC final defeat must have rattled him. SA beat AUS on the biggest stage and now he's posting that video after winning just one bilateral Test, not even the series.
Rabada needs to humble him in the next Test.
Imagine being Bavuma.
You lead your team to 11 consecutive wins but one loss is enough for people to turn against you. It's sad how quickly people forget everything you've done the moment things don't go your way.
Shukri Conrad:
"No, it’s not a squad for the series, and we made that very clear to the guys that are here.
We’ve got a day or two to look at how we can improve the side. And like I said, someone like MATTHEW BREETZKE and obviously MARCUS ACKERMANN are among the options."
This Aussie fan, Jake Jeakings, really pulled out the silencing celebration to mock the Proteas fans…
@JakeJeakings1 a little too early to celebrate. Did you forget what happened in the WTC Final?
