JOHANNESBURG (AP) South Africa selected uncapped players Heino Kuhn, Aiden Markram and Andile Phehlukwayo in its 16-man squad on Monday for the four-match test series against England starting next week.
Kuhn, an opening batsman who impressed in South Africa A’s recent tour of England, and Phehlukwayo, a 21-year-old allrounder, took the places of Stephen Cook and Wayne Parnell from the Proteas squad that played the last series against New Zealand.
Markram was included as batting cover for Faf du Plessis, who could miss the first match of the series – at Lord’s starting July 6 – as he awaits the birth of his first child.
