South Africa add star pacer to squad ahead of Guwahati Test
A bit of bad news has emerged for the Shubman Gill-led Team India as the Proteas added Lungi Ngidi to their squad for the second Test match scheduled to be played. in Guwahati Baraspara Cricket Stadium. In the first match, South Africa defeated India despite scoring low runs in both the innings and won the match by 30 runs.
Ahead of the Kolkata Test, leading pacer Kagiso Rabada was ruled out on the match day due to injury concerns. The team’s management has now appointed Ngidi to balance the side. However, Ngidi’s inclusion should not be a cause for concern. past records are taken into account.
Ngidi has played only one Test on Indian soil so far and in that match too he was proven wrong and conceded. 83 runs. Interestingly, India is the only country where Ngidi played a Test match and did not take any wickets. But overall Test records should be taken seriously by the home team.
Meanwhile, Indian skipper Shubman Gill was also injured in the first match in Kolkata and the team management is yet to decide whether he will participate in the next match.
