With no selectors, it will be up to Cricket SA CEO Thabang Moroe to assemble a squad

So the top Test batter in domestic terms this season is Heinrich Klaasen‚ who is 44th on the list of runscorers.Not that the national selectors take their cues from first-class cricket. SA’s internationals do not play nearly enough at that level to make it a factor in picking a Test squad. Right. Except that‚ until late October‚ the relevant suit was interim director of cricket Corrie van Zyl — who has been suspended.

That might mean the job of assembling the squad to play one of the most important series in SA’s history will fall to Cricket SA CEO Thabang Moroe. That is a hopelessly imperfect exercise given the differences in format and standard‚ but it cannot hurt that Temba Bavuma‚ Quinton de Kock and Dean Elgar are among the top 10 runscorers.

Then again‚ Du Plessis has had only two innings while Maharaj and Philander have bowled just four overs and Ngidi a mere three.
