“It feels great to be back; it was frustrating to watch from the sidelines. I was eager to return and seize the opportunity, and I am pleased to have capitalized on the chances I received,” he remarked.

“We played better cricket, but it was not sufficient to secure results in our favor. We are improving, but I expect my team to give their all moving forward. We do not have specific plans for the upcoming series against Australia at this moment,” Temba Bavuma commented.

South Africa’s next Test series against Pakistan is set to commence on December 26 at Centurion, followed by the second match in Cape Town. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will host Australia for a two-match series in Galle, beginning on January 29.
