Proteas interim coach Malibongwe Maketa has come out strongly in support of Temba Bavuma heading into the first Test against Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday.
Bavuma was ruled out of the tour of the UK after an elbow injury and returned to the national fold only when he led the side in their ill-fated ICC Men’s T20 World Cup campaign in Australia.
Bavuma took time off after returning to South Africa and did not feature in any of the opening three Cricket South Africa four-day franchise series games in November. Speaking about Bavuma’s state of mind, Maketa said the Lions player was in a good space and smiling again.
