Australia holds the top position in the WTC with 80 PCT, and South Africa is right below the Kangaroos with 75 PCT. This is a battle for the top spot in the current WTC cycle and is also crucial for the Aussies ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in India early next year. The WTC reigning champions will look to qualify for the final.
Cameron Green only did physical conditioning and neither batted, bowled, nor fielded in the warm-up game in Potchefstroom. He has recently been struggling with lots of injuries, which have kept him out of the Test squad, and sometimes he has played only as a batter in the side. However, there has been no official confirmation that Cameron Green will be missing out on the first game.
Cooper Connolly to replace Cameron Green
With Cameron Green likely to be out, it is believed that Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Cooper Connolly is set to replace him in the first Test. The 23-year–old cricketer has just played one Test match, which was back in 2025 in Galle against Sri Lanka. He has been superb for the side in the white-ball formats and has shown amazing form in recent times.
Liam Scott also in the fray
The selectors can think about young all-rounder Liam Scott, who has performed strongly on the Australia A tour of India. In the warm-up game, Marnus Labuschagne got the much-needed confidence as he scored a hundred, with Steve Smith scoring a fifty.
The first of the three-match Test series is scheduled to take place on Friday 9th October at Kingsmead, Durban. South Africa won the ODI series 2-1 and will also look to win the Test series.
