Proteas Test Squad for India Tour 2021-2022 | Duanne Olivier recalled
The Proteas test squad to face India in three tests across December 2021 and January 2022 has been officially named today, with the selectors announcing a 21 man roster that sees a recall for Duanne Olivier. The lanky pacer, who last played for South Africa back in 2019, left the country on a Kolpak deal but has returned due to Brexit and his figures in the domestic four day competition have seen the selectors recall him for his marquee tour.
First time call ups in this SA test squad against India include Sisanda Magala and Ryan Rickelton, both of whom have been capped by the Proteas at T20 level.
There are two left arm pacers in the squad in the form of Beuran Hendricks and Marco Jansen.

Aiden Markram scored a sparkling unbeaten 51 as South Africa registered a comprehensive eight wicket win against West Indies in Dubai on Tuesday.
After being asked to bat first by Proteas skipper, Windies pair of Lendl Simmons and Evin Lewis got their side off to a blistering start. The duo added 73 runs for the opening stand before Keshav Maharaj broke the partnership by dismissing Lewis caught at deep midwicket for a well made 56.

Veteran left hander Chris Gayle (12) sliced a slower ball from Pretorius to Heinrich Klaasen behind the stumps.
Skipper Kieron Pollard scored a valuable 26 in the end to propel West Indies to 143/8 in their allotted 20 overs.
For South Africa, Dwaine Pretorius was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/17.
Chasing 144, South Africa suffered an early jolt by losing skipper Temba Bavuma run out in the very first over.
Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen added 57 runs for the second wicket before the former fell to a brilliant diving catch by Hetmyer off Akeal Hosein for 39.
Van der Dussen (43)* along with Aiden Markram (51)* put on an unbeaten 83 run stand for the third wicket as South Africa reached the target with 10 balls to spare.
