South Africa batting great Hashim Amla said that Temba Bavuma should bat higher up the order now that wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock has quit Test cricket as he is South Africa's best batter in the middle order.
South African batting great Hashim Amla has called for Temba Bavuma to be promoted up the order now that Quinton de Kock has retired from Test cricket. South Africa face India in the second Test in Johannesburg starting on Monday as they look to bounce back and prevent a first-ever series defeat at home to their opponents.
South Africa are trailing 0-1 in the three-match series after losing the first Test by 113 runs. De Kock announced his retirement from the longest format of the game just hours after the last South African wicket fell in Centurion.
