Perhaps the biggest debate will be the inclusion of Jasprit Bumrah in the Test squad.

Bumrah, who has established himself as one of the match-winners in the limited overs format, has found a lot of supporters for his cause to be included in the Test playing XI.

"If you look at the skills Bumrah has and the way he has come through over the last two years, then he is ready to play Test cricket. He's got everything. He's got an unusual action, got good pace and with the brand new ball can get some good movement in the air," former Australian captain Ricky Ponting had said about Bumrah.

With his unique action and decent pace, Bumrah can certainly pose a lot of questions to the South African batting in helpful conditions.
