THE South Africa men’s national team have arrived in Bulawayo ahead of their eagerly anticipated two-match Test series against Zimbabwe starting on Saturday.
They touched down at Joshua Mqabuko International Airport on Tuesday afternoon.
The Proteas, fresh from their memorable ICC World Test Championship triumph over Australia at Lord’s, arrived with confidence and momentum on their side.
Zimbabwe, however, are equally motivated, having recently returned from a historic tour of England where they featured in a one-off Test at Trent Bridge.
The team will be under the captaincy of Keshav Maharaj who stands in for the injured Temba Bavuma.
The second Test is scheduled for July 6 to 10, setting the stage for a thrilling fortnight of high-quality red-ball cricket.
Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi will join the team for the second Test.
