“Obviously it’s been a thought, what the selectors are thinking, but I’ve also seen those same guys who struggled in the Australian team also destroy spinners in the IPL,” De Kock said on the eve of the match against Australia

South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock feels the Australian batting unit’s struggle against Indian spinners was an aberration considering the likes of Steve Smith and David Warner have clobbered slow bowlers around the park in the Indian Premier League.


De Kock added that the selectors are thinking about bolstering the South African line-up by adding wrist- spinner Tabraiz Shamsi in the playing XI alongside Keshav Maharaj but the uncertain nature of the newly-laid Ekana pitch is something to consider.

“Obviously it’s been a thought, what the selectors are thinking, but I’ve also seen those same guys who struggled in the Australian team also destroy spinners in the IPL,” De Kock said on the eve of the match against Australia.

“That was a spin-friendly wicket in Chennai. I think most other teams could have struggled because obviously, the Indians have got a really good spin bowling attack. I’ve played against a lot of these guys like Warner, Smith, Marnus, Maxi [Maxwell], these guys really play spin well in general.”
