TLDR
After South Africa’s 214-run loss to Australia in Durban, coach Shukri Conrad said the team needed to improve without abandoning what had worked well. ICC reports that he wants more composure from his batters and is open to lineup changes for the second Test, scheduled to begin October 18, 2026, in Gqeberha. Matthew Breetzke replaced Tristan Stubbs in the squad, while Kagiso Rabada was a possible option as he worked back from a hamstring injury.
