BAVUMA: SQUAD IS SHOWING MATURITY AND GROWTH

- Ross Roche

Proteas building Test confidence

The Proteas are confident and ready to get down to business according to captain Temba Bavuma, as they prepare to take on Sri Lanka in a two-Test series getting underway in Durban next week.

Bavuma is back to lead the side after recovering from an elbow injury that saw him miss out on their impressive two-nil series win over Bangladesh on the subcontinent last month.

Those wins took the Proteas' unbeaten run to four Tests, with the last three in a row all wins, after they drew the first Test and won the second against the West Indies in the Caribbean in August, so the team will be full of confidence.
