Proteas coach Conrad heaps praise on Mulder

The captain for the two-Test series sustained the injury while batting on day three of the first Test on Monday. He will return home for further assessment to determine the extent of the injury.

All-rounder Senuran Muthusamy has been named as his replacement. At the same time, fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, who was set to join the squad on Wednesday, has been released to give the seamers who impressed in the first Test another opportunity to build on their performances.

All-rounder Wiaan Mulder will lead the side in the second Test, which begins on Saturday.

Proteas coach Shukri Conrad believes Mulder has all the qualities to lead and that he will thrive with the added responsibility.
