As South Africa prepares for the second Test against Pakistan at Newlands, they are making crucial adjustments to their lineup, including the historic inclusion of 17-year-old Kwena Maphaka. Maphaka is set to become South Africa’s youngest Test cricketer, taking over the record from Hashim Amla, who debuted at 20 years and 319 days. Head coach Shukri Conrad expressed confidence in the young talent, stating, ‘Kwena has shown immense potential and is ready to step up.’ South Africa’s team will feature three changes as they eye a commanding performance at home. This match will not only test the Proteas’ adaptability to the unique Newlands pitch conditions but also the strategies of Pakistan under pressure after their disappointing first Test.
