5 reasons why Keshav Maharaj can be South Africa's long-term spin option

New Zealand v South Africa - 2nd Test: Day 3

Often, we see that spinners go on to play the game in their late 30s. Some of them even play after turning 40. Spinners can prolong their career to a certain extent. Keshav Maharaj has displayed exemplary promise in the limited opportunities he got.

He made his debut last year against Australia in Perth and picked up 4 wickets at a frugal economy rate.

Afterwards, he impressed against Sri Lanka and New Zealand by adding to the wickets column on almost every occasion.

The left-arm spinner is just 27 years old and has a long career ahead of him. Provided he continues with his rich vein of form and stays fit, he can be an asset for the South African team going into the future.
