- By Sports Reporter

With the Pakistan Test series starting on October 12, Temba Bavuma has revealed it will be a race against time to prove his fitness. Bavuma sustained a calf injury on September 7 in the third One-Day International (ODI) against England in Southampton.

With the first Test just under a month away, Bavuma said his medical team predicted he would need four weeks of rehabilitation for a calf strain, which was confirmed by scans last week.
