Only for Test #1.
Tsolekile is being flown over.

I think Tsolekile is just cover though. They need to go in with the extra specialist batsman against England. He only averages 9 in his 3 tests and 29 at first class level. If De Villiers keeps they can bat Rudolph and Duminy at 6 and 7 which is better than Tsolekile coming in at 7. Have to wait and see what they do though!

They won't be keen on De Villiers batting at 5 and keeping IMO. For mine, De Villiers will bat at 6 or 7 and keep if need be

It would be great if he did Keep and bat at 5 but yeah the selectors/coaches would probably think it would be a too big of a workload for him me thinks.

Boucher officially retires, unsure if he will have sight in his left eye again.

AB deVilliers will be the keeper for the first Test, yet to determine if a replacement keeper will be flown over.

My thoughts are with you MP...such a fan of such a great player

It's true, serious man crush.
