This player is none other than captain Temba Bavuma. Temba Bavuma could not even play the first match of this series.
This player will captain
The second match of the Test series against Bangladesh will be played in Chattogram. Temba Bavuma will miss this match due to his elbow injury. His elbow problem has increased a lot. He suffered an elbow injury during the match being played against Ireland on 4 October. Since then he has not been able to play a single match. The team management has informed that he has suffered soft tissue damage. Aiden Markram captained the team in the first match of the series. Which was won by South Africa by 7 wickets. In such a situation, he will be the captain for the second match of the series also.
Big statement from South African coach
The South Africa coach said during a press conference on Friday that he felt Bavuma was not medically ready for the second Test and that he would shorten the rehabilitation program so he could be ready for the Sri Lankan series. He also said that Bavuma is his best Test batsman. So this is a big blow for his team, but he has proved that he can deal with setbacks. South Africa’s domestic first-class competition begins on Wednesday, and Bavuma could play in three matches before the first Test against Sri Lanka at Kingsmead starting on November 27.
