Zondeki in line for recall

Zondeki in line for recall

South Africa are likely to recall pace bowler Monde Zondeki to the side for the second Test against Bangladesh.

Zondeki is likely to replace Paul Harris, who broke a thumb in the first test. Coach Mickey Arthur confirmed the switch, and predicted another bouncy wicket for the young tourists.

"We haven't had a chance to look at the wicket - it's still covered, but once we've seen what the pitch looks like, we'll make a final decision," Arthur said.

"We've got our bases covered - we've got Monde and Robin Peterson in the squad, so we can decide whether to go for an all-pace attack, or include Robin as the spinner," he added.

"We've asked for a lot of grass on the pitch, and for the wicket to favour the seamers. Monde's been on tour with us for a while, and I would like to see him in action in a game.

"If we find there's not much grass, we've got Robin standing by, but if there is a lot of grass, we'll go with an all-seam attack."
