Thu, 31st December 2015

bizhub Highveld Lions fast bowler, Hardus Viljoen, will join the Castle Lager Proteas Squad in Cape Town this morning as cover for fast bowler, Kyle Abbott.



Abbott experienced tightness in his left hamstring at the conclusion of the first Sunfoil Test against England in Durban.



“With a short turnaround between the first and second tests, we’ve included Hardus in the squad as a precautionary measure to cover all our bases,” said CSA Convener of Selectors, Linda Zondi. “Hardus has taken 20 wickets in the first two rounds of the Sunfoil Series.”
