ICC World Test Championship: Uncapped all-rounder Corbin Bosch will make his Test debut as South Africa named the playing XI for the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan, scheduled to begin on December 26 at Centurion.

The match is a part of a crucial two-Test series in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle.

The inclusion of Bosch is a significant move for the Proteas, especially given the spate of injuries plaguing their pace attack. Bosch, the son of former Test cricketer Tertius Bosch, earned his maiden Test cap after an impressive domestic run and a solid performance for the South African Invitational XI against the England Lions, where he bowled a disciplined spell of 1/21 in five overs.
