Brevis and Lhuan-dre Pretorius included in South Africa’s Test squad for Zimbabwe series.

Just for you casino online for real money. Nineteen-year-old breakout batting star Lhuan-dre Pretorius leads a South Africa squad featuring five uncapped players for a two-Test series in Zimbabwe starting later this month. Alongside Pretorius, Dewald Brevis, Lesego Senokwane, Codi Yusuf, and Prenelan Subrayen are in line to make their Test debuts.

The matches, scheduled to be played in Bulawayo, are not part of the World Test Championship (WTC) since Zimbabwe does not participate in that competition. This series provides coach Shukri Conrad with an opportunity to develop depth ahead of the 2025-2027 cycle. Consequently, six players from South Africa’s WTC squad—Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, and Kagiso Rabada—have been rested. Additionally, Dane Paterson may retire after the Lord’s Test.

Lhuan-dre has only six first-class matches under his belt but made a remarkable impact with three centuries in his first five games, including one in the domestic red-ball final. He boasts an impressive average of 65.57 in first-class cricket.

Brevis, who was part of South Africa’s Test squad to Bangladesh last year but did not play, has been recognized for his consistent performance in domestic first-class cricket. He was the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament with 573 runs in 12 innings, including two centuries and two fifties, averaging 47.75. He is seen as fulfilling the potential he demonstrated when he finished as the leading run-scorer at the 2022 Under-19 World Cup.

“Dewald deserves a lot of credit for how he has progressed over the past 12 months,” said coach Shukri Conrad. “He’s shown real growth and maturity in the longer format, and it’s encouraging to see him evolving into a more complete cricketer.”
