Proteas coach Shukri Conrad praised the composure shown by Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen after the sensational two-wicket victory against Pakistan in the first Test in Centurion.
When Shukri Conrad was appointed coach of the Proteas Test team in January 2023 he immediately made the decision to install Temba Bavuma as captain, and has been handsomely rewarded by the player.
Proteas coach Shukri Conrad wants the batting unit to "graft better" when conditions are in favour of the bowlers as he looks ahead to the three remaining Test matches this summer.
Temba Bavuma has recovered from his elbow injury and will lead the Proteas in the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starting in Durban on 27 November.
Proteas coach Shukri Conrad feels the Test series victory in Bangladesh will instill plenty of belief in the squad ahead of the home summer of matches.
Proteas coach Shukri Conrad said the victory in the first Test in Bangladesh was "very special" but insists the tourists will still need to put in the "hard graft" to close out the series.
