What's your test team going to be when the Proteas tackle Sri - Lanka in a week? It's a tough call leaving Rickelton out, but this is the team I'm going with from the squad selected;
1. Tony de Zorzi
2. Aiden Markram
3. Tristan Stubbs
4. Temba Bavuma (c)
5. David Bedingham
6. Kyle Verreynne
7. Marco Jansen
8. Wiaan Mulder
9. Keshav Maharaj
10. Gerald Coetzee.
11. Kagiso Rabada
With Wiaan Mulder at 8, and even KG being good for some valuable runs at 11, this side gives the Proteas the strongest lower order I've seen in some time, and that might mean the difference between the two sides.
Sri - Lanka are looking resurgent under Jayasuriya, and the Proteas will need to be at their best to beat the only Asian team who have beaten them at home.
What would your side be? Who do you feel was unlucky to miss out on squad selection? Let me know in the comments below.

Barry Richards, a colossus of cricket, graced the sport with an elegance matched by few. Born in Durban and a proud product of Durban High School, Richards illuminated the cricketing world with his masterful stroke play and sharp cricketing mind. Despite international sanctions limiting his Test career to just four matches for South Africa, his monumental talent was unmistakable. In those four Tests, he amassed 508 runs at an astonishing average of 72.57, a testament to what could have been a storied international record.
Richards' prowess extended beyond the limited Test opportunities, as reflected in his phenomenal first-class cricket statistics. Over his extensive first-class career, he compiled a staggering 28,358 runs at an average of 54.74, demonstrating his consistency and dominance against some of the finest bowlers of his era. His batting was not just about accumulating runs; it was an art form, a spectacle of grace, precision, and tactical acumen that left spectators and fellow players in awe.
Barry Richards was not just a cricketer; he was a visionary of the game, whose insights and techniques were ahead of his time. His legacy is not confined to the runs he scored or the records he set, but is also etched in the profound impact he had on the game and the countless cricketers he inspired.
