Not yet, but it has been confirmed that AB will not keep wicket due to his injury. He'll play as a specialist batsman. I'm happy!!!!

This will be a positive move in my opinion. I presume de Kock will be keeping and as far as I remember he is a good enough player on low and slow pitches.

That top order looks a bit brittle.

Yip
If AB is not keeping, why is he not coming in a 3?, my whole life i have been taught to belief your best batsman comes in at 3 and 4. Faf should come in at 5 if at all. Stiaan van Zyl is luckily in the squad, hopefully he will get his deserved chance, now only if the selectors can give Rilee Rossouw a chance as well.
