South Africa are due to arrive very soon for the Test series against Bangladesh, starting on October 21. A total of two test matches will be played between the two teams during this series. However, before the start of this series, bad news is coming for the Proteas team.

Let us tell you that due to injury, team captain Temba Bavuma will not be able to play in the first test match. It is worth noting that earlier in the recently concluded ODI series against Ireland, he could not play in the last ODI due to a minor tissue injury.

So now he will not be able to take part in the first test match against Bangladesh. However, he can be seen playing for South Africa in the second test match to be held at Zahoor Ahmed Chaudhary Stadium. Also, in the absence of Bavuma, uncapped Dewald Brevis has been added to the team as his replacement.

Also, before this, South Africa has suffered another big setback in bowling. Let us tell you that due to lumbar stress fracture, fast bowler Nandre Berger has been ruled out of the entire Bangladesh tour. So Cricket South Africa (CSA) has included Lungi Ngidi in the team as his replacement.

South Africa to tour Bangladesh

Temba Bavuma (captain/second Test only), David Bedingham, Matthew Bretzke, Dewald Brewis, Tony De Jordi, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, Wian Mulder, Senuran Muthusamy, Lungi Ngidi, Dane Paterson, Dane Piedt, Kagiso Rabada, Tristan Stubbs, Ryan Rickelton, Kyle Verreen.
