Bosch's excellent local track record
Bosch's Test debut comes on the back of a great introduction to international cricket. Having made his debut 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 has been included in the Proteas squad for the tour of Pakistan due to his impressive performances in domestic cricket.
Bosh's domestic record underscores his credentials as a true all-rounder. In 34 first-class matches, he took 72 wickets and collected 1,295 runs, including 10 half-centuries. His List A record is also commendable, with 38 wickets and 547 runs in 32 matches, including three fifties. Bosch's ability to contribute with both ball and bat made him a valuable addition to South Africa's Test setup.
