Proteas coach Shukri Conrad has highlighted the importance of protecting young Lhuan-dre Pretorius, and not expecting too much from him too soon.
Teenager Lhuan-dre Pretorius could not have asked for a better introduction to test cricket after bursting onto the scene with a record-breaking 153 runs in Bulawayo.
Lhuan-dre Pretorius became the youngest player to score a Test century for the Proteas to help the visitors recover from 55-4 to post 418-9 at stumps on day one against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo.
Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Dewald Brevis and Codi Yusuf will all make their Test debuts for the Proteas against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo on Saturday, stand-in captain Keshav Maharaj has confirmed.
Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Lesego Senokwane, Dewald Brevis, Prenelan Subrayen and Codi Yusuf could make their Test debuts for the Proteas in the two-match series in Zimbabwe that starts on 28 June.
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 28 June at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.
