#1 Chris Morris
As an all-rounder, Chris Morris offers something with both bat and ball, and this is something that the South African selectors and coaching staff will definitely want to consider. The ability of a team to score runs at the bottom of the order is a crucial one, and one feels that Morris could easily slot into the line-up after Quinton de Kock. This means that he would be batting at number 8, which would easily make him one of the best number 8 batsmen in Test cricket at the moment.
His height and the ability to bowl the ball at pace make him a suitable replacement for Morkel. He has shown that he does have the ability to extract bounce from the surface, and this is an important feature to his bowling which the South Africans will want in their bowling attack and something which will challenge the Pakistani batsmen.
