A stellar domestic track record of Bosch
Bosch’s Test debut comes on the back of an impressive introduction to international cricket. Having debuted in the ODI format against Pakistan earlier in the same tour, Bosch’s promotion to the Test side highlights his rapid rise through the ranks. The 30-year-old all-rounder was included in the Proteas’ squad for the Pakistan tour owing to his stellar performances in domestic cricket.
Bosch’s domestic record underscores his credentials as a genuine all-rounder. In 34 First-Class matches, he has taken 72 wickets and amassed 1,295 runs, including 10 half-centuries. His List A record is equally commendable, with 38 wickets and 547 runs in 32 matches, featuring three fifties. Bosch’s ability to contribute both with the ball and the bat has made him a valuable addition to South Africa’s Test setup.
