De Kock, Morris added to Proteas squad

Cape Town - The Cricket South Africa (CSA) national selectors have added Titans duo of Quinton de Kock and Chris Morris to the Proteas squad for the second Test against England, starting at Newlands on Saturday.

“Following our performance and injuries in the first Test, we have recognised the need to bolster the squad,” said Linda Zondi, CSA Convener of Selectors.

“This will provide us with more selection options for the second Test match at Newlands,” added Zondi.

De Kock scored a century for the Titans in their recent Sunfoil Series clash against the Cape Cobras while Morris made 86 runs in his only innings and took 3 wickets.
