Bosch looks to secure his Proteas Test spot
The Star
|July 03, 2025
THE Corbin Bosch the world has seen in the first Test against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo is a completely different player to what the domestic scene has experienced over the years.
The 30-year-old has been able to elevate his game, going from lacking consistency with the ball in domestic cricket to being a lot tidier in Test cricket.
Before the Test in Bulawayo, Bosch had only one five-wicket haul in red ball cricket, a feat that tells the tale about his career.
Reflecting on the last eight months of his career, where he has been in and around the Proteas Test team on a regular basis including being included in the squad for World Test Championship final, Bosch highlighted that he has been inspired to improve his overall game.
To help South Africa beat Zimbabwe by 328-runs in the first Test, Bosch claimed his first Test fifer - his second in red ball cricket, and also scored his maiden Test century - the first of his professional career.
