South Africa Sending Weak Team To NZ Has Been A Wake-up Call For Everyone: Nick Hockley
New Zealand Test: Nick Hockley, the CEO of Cricket Australia (CA), admitted that South Africa sending a weakened team for the Test tour of New Zealand has been a "wake-up call" for everyone and added that the governing body will always prioritise international cricket.
South Africa named a 14-man squad for the New Zealand Test tour happening in February, to be captained by opener Neil Brand, who is amongst the seven uncapped players in the team. Capped Test players in the squad will be batters David Bedingham, Zubayr Hamza and Keegan Petersen, currently playing in the series against India.
Other capped players on tour of New Zealand include batter Khaya Zondo, fast-bowling pair of Duanne Olivier and Dane Paterson, and spinner Dane Piedt. Cricket South Africa (CSA) has chosen to field a weakened Test squad due to the series clashing with the second season of SA20 league at home.
