South Africa have not made any changes to their 15-member squad for the
two Tests against India from the one that featured against Pakistan in
the UAE. Graeme Smith, who was part of the one-day squad, but didn't
play in any of the two ODIs, will return to lead the side in the Tests.
South Africa lost the first Test against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi by seven
wickets, but bounced back in Dubai with an innings and 92-run win. "We
were very happy with the performance of the Proteas in the second Test
match at Dubai," Andrew Hudson, the selection convenor, said. "We see no
need to change something that is operating well."
There are four fast bowlers in the squad in Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel,
Vernon Philander and Rory Kleinveldt, and two spinners in Robin Peterson
and Imran Tahir. The squad includes Thami Tsolekile as the reserve
wicketkeeper.
The two-Test series kicks off on December 18 at the Wanderers while the
second match will be played in Durban, from December 26.
