SA cricket team select five uncapped players for two match Test series in Zimbabwe

Date: Jun 6, 2025

South Africa’s (SA) cricket team Proteas coach Shukri Conrad has selected five uncapped players in a 16 man squad for the two-match Test series in Zimbabwe that will start on June 28 at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

Among the new faces are batting duo Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Lesego Senokwane, both of whom have received their maiden call ups to the national setup. 

They are joined in the squad by another first-timer in fast bowler Codi Yusuf. 

The other uncapped players in the group are batter Dewald Brevis, the second-highest run-scorer in the domestic first-class competition this past season, and spinner Prenelan Subrayen, though both have previously toured with the Proteas senior side. 

At just 19, left handed batter Pretorius enjoyed a breakout season in the domestic Cricket SA Four Day series. 

He struck three hundreds in five first class games at an impressive average of 72.66, including a crucial 114 in the final that helped secure a hard-fought draw for the Titans against the Lions. 

Senokwane also impressed with the bat, amassing 559 runs with two centuries to his name. 

Both players also recently made their SA A debuts against West Indies A.
