Dhaka. Reason Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the second Test against Bangladesh due to his recovery from an elbow injury. In his place, Aiden Markram will continue to captain the team in the series. Now, Bavuma aims to be fit for the home Test series against Sri Lanka next month. Bavuma injured his elbow after falling awkwardly while completing a run in the ODI against Ireland earlier this month. He retired hurt on 35 runs in the match and did not return to the field. This is the same elbow that was injured during the T20 tour of India in 2022. South Africa’s Test coach Shukri Conrad said that we think he will not be ready for the second Test. We will ease his rehabilitation so that he can be ready for the Sri Lankan series. Bavuma will not participate further in this series, so it is still uncertain whether he will remain with the team in Dhaka or return home to continue his rehabilitation and prepare for the Sri Lanka series.
South Africa’s domestic first-class season begins on Wednesday, giving Bavuma a chance to play in three matches before the first Test against Sri Lanka at Kingsmead on November 27. South Africa has taken a 1-0 lead in the two-match series by winning the first match by seven wickets and boosted its chances of reaching the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). South Africa team for the second test: Aiden Markram (captain), David Bedingham, Matthew Bretzke, Dewald Brevis, Tony de Jorzi, Keshav Maharaj, Wiaan Mulder, Senuran Muthusamy, Lungi Ngidi, Dane Paterson, Dane Piedt, Kagiso Rabada, Tristan Stubbs. , Ryan Rickelton and Kyle Verin.
