Keshav Maharaj, Wiaan Mulder picked in South Africa Test squad for upcoming series against Pakistan

New Delhi: Keshav Maharaj and Wiaan Mulder have been included in South Africa’s Test squad for the upcoming series against Pakistan, starting on December 26 in Centurion, despite being on varied stages of their respective injuries.

Maharaj sustained an acute groin strain on Tuesday during warm-ups ahead of the first ODI against Pakistan at Boland Park in Paarl. Cricket South Africa (CSA) said Maharaj will undergo a scan on Wednesday to determine the severity of the injury.

Mulder’s inclusion comes as he completed the final phase of his recovery from a fractured right middle finger, which kept him out of the second Test against Sri Lanka. If Mulder is selected for the first Test, CSA said batter Matthew Breetzke will be released from the squad.

Seamer Corbin Bosch, 30, has earned his maiden call-up to the Test side. Bosch has been in fine form in first-class cricket, picking an overall tally of 72 wickets at an average of 36.75 and an economy rate of 3.24 across 34 matches. IANS
