#1. Heino Kuhn
33-year old Heino Kuhn was selected in the South African Test squad for the very first time and made his debut in the first Test at Lord’s. However, he was disastrous with the bat as he scored one and nine in the first and second innings respectively while opening.
Nevertheless, the opener was chosen to play in the second Test and scored 34 in the first innings which would be his highest score in the entire series. He scored eight in the second innings, thus underperforming in another Test. Despite having another opening option in Aiden Markram, the keeper-batsman was given more chances but he kept on disappointing as he went on to score 15, 11, 24, and 11 in the next four innings.
Kuhn has undoubtedly been South Africa’s most inconsistent player this series and since South Africa have quite a few options to replace him, he might have done the damage already.
