SA vs Eng: Keegan Petersen receives maiden Test call-up
South Africa batsman Kegan Petersen has been named as a replacement for injured Aiden Markram for the second Test against England beginning next week at Newlands.
Markram will go under the knife early this week after sustaining a fracture to his fourth left finger on Day Two of the first Test which Proteas won by 107 runs.
“Aiden sustained a fracture affecting the distal joint of his left ring finger,” said Cricket South Africa (CSA) Chief Medical Officer Shuaib Manjra.
