South Africa have kept faith with a winning formula by naming an unchanged squad for the three-Test series in England starting next month, Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced on Wednesday. The 15-man squad is identical to the touring side that beat New Zealand 1-0 in a three-Test series in March. The Proteas are currently ranked No. 2 in the world behind England and convenor of selectors Andrew Hudson believes consistency and depth of squad have been the key ingredients to the team’s success. “The players fully deserve a vote of confidence after the outstanding manner in which they outplayed New Zealand away from home,” Hudson said in a statement. “Consistency has also been one of the key pillars of our selection policy and this is also contributing to our success on the field. We are now building up excellent depth in both the batting and bowling departments.” From gulfnews
