South Africa to field two spinners in second Test against West Indies

South Africa have recalled middle-order batsman Ryan Rickelton and the spin duo of Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj for the second and final Test against the West Indies at The Wanderers on Wednesday.

Coach Shukri Conrad has revealed the starting XI and says he had no concerns over the form of newly-installed captain Temba Bavuma, who got a pair of ducks in the 87-run first Test victory in Pretoria last week.

Rickelton, 26, was a surprise absentee from the first match given his excellent domestic form that has seen him score 365 runs in five innings at an average of 121.66. He takes over from Keegan Petersen at number five in the batting line-up.

The Wanderers is usually a wicket for the seamers with pace and bounce, but in recent times has slowed down and that has prompted the home side to pick both Harmer and Maharaj in the place of Senuran Muthusamy and injured fast bowler Anrich Nortje.

There is also a recall for seaming all-rounder Wiaan Mulder on his home ground.

"In the last year the spinners have come into the game here," Conrad said. "If the game goes to days four and five, our spinners will play a big part.
