Proteas call up three spinners

The South African Test team have been given the green light to tour Bangladesh in October.

Temba Bavuma will lead a side that includes three frontline spinners in Keshav Maharaj, Dane Piedt and Senuran Muthusamy, who's been recalled to the Proteas for the first time since March last year.

Muthusamy has previously played in three Tests. He has taken 247 first-class wickets and amassed nearly 5,000 runs at an average of 30.41.

There is also place in the 15-man squad for bowling veteran Dane Paterson and all-rounder Wiaan Mulder.
