Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Proteas will have to chase a series victory over Bangladesh without their captain Temba Bavuma, who will miss the second Test as he continues to recover from a left elbow injury.<\/p>\n

Bavuma picked up the ailment during the ODI series with Ireland last month, and despite being put on a rehabilitation programme and travelling with the squad to Bangladesh, the medical staff feel it would be best for him to sit out the Test in Chattogram that starts on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe programme will be toned down so he can be ready for the Sri Lanka series,\u201d Proteas head coach Shukri Conrad confirmed on Friday.<\/p>\n

South Africa play the first of two Tests against Sri Lanka in Durban from November 27, giving Bavuma an extra month to get himself in shape.<\/p>\n

Conrad couldn\u2019t say if Bavuma would remain with the squad in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has a young family. It\u2019s up to him (whether he chooses to remain),\u201d said Conrad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’d like him to stay. I\u2019ve told him that because he plays a valuable role. It is still his team and we will see how it unfolds.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Bavuma\u2019s absence, the Proteas won the first Test by seven wickets, a victory Conrad said was pleasing because of the composure shown by the players.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were in a bit of trouble in our first innings, but even in that period we were calm. There was nothing frantic and when conditions got easier for batting, Kyle (Verreynne), Wiaan (Mulder) and Piedty (Piedt) played really well.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really good combined effort from everyone. They should be really proud about what they achieved. We had a good celebration that went on into the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was SA\u2019s first Test win in the subcontinent in 10 years, the importance of which hit home for Conrad when he was talking to former players Shaun Pollock and HD Ackerman afterwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an inexperienced unit. We (as coaches) have to be comfortable with them making mistakes, as long as it is not from a mental perspective. If it is execution, we are comfortable with that. If it\u2019s technical we can work on that,\u201d said Conrad.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want them to have a strong mentality, strong desire, both with bat and ball, and we have gone to great lengths to free up the guys. Whatever the game plan is, every one of us, players and management, will back it to the hilt and allow the player to do what he must do.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys are finding their feet. They are in a more settled situation and that goes for all of us. We have settled on a group of guys who will take us forward,\u201d said Conrad.<\/p>\n

With the World Test Championship points critical and qualification for next year\u2019s final in the competition even more in focus after winning in Dhaka, Conrad said the players wouldn\u2019t be resting on their laurels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t be looking to sit on that lead or bask in the glory of that victory. When we get to Chattogram it will be business as usual,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Proteas need to win four of the remaining five Tests they have in the WTC cycle to qualify for the final at Lord\u2019s in June next year, and with four of those matches at home, that outcome is realistic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to fancy our chances back home. You are firm favourites to beat two teams from the subcontinent in home conditions. We need to start playing like favourites. We have a good thing going here, but we certainly will not get ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to allow ourselves to dream, and give ourselves the opportunity to realise that dream. But it will take a lot of graft, and we are a long way from that. We have to take care of Chattogram first,\u201d said Conrad.<\/p>\n
