Stubbs has played only 1 Test match for South Africa.
South Africa cricket team’s head coach Shukri Conrad has recently made a big statement about young player Tristan Stubbs. Conrad says that he hopes Stubbs will do well in the biggest format of the game.
It is worth noting that the 23-year-old young player has played only one match in Test cricket so far. At the beginning of the year, he was successful in making his debut in Test cricket against the Indian team. However, in this match, he was out after scoring just 4 runs. So now he will be seen playing in the two-match Test series on South Africa’s tour of West Indies, which will start with the first match in Trinidad on 7 August.
Shukri Conrad made a big statement about Tristan Stubbs
Let us tell you that before the start of South Africa’s first Test match against West Indies, Shukri Conrad said in a virtual press conference – I think he will perform well in Test cricket, whether it is the first Test match or the second Test match. South Africa has got a good player for the future.
Tristan ticks all the boxes that are needed to face the new ball. He is an imposing player with a strong personality. I like him a lot and we will give responsibility in the top order in Tests to players who have strong body language.
Conrad further said on his playing at number three in Test cricket- Tristan is going to get a good chance at that number. I think his body and technique are very good, which can show good play at this number. I am going to give him a good chance at this number. I would be surprised if we did not support him throughout the cycle.
