South Africa call on 'Aussie agitator' Breetzke

Following a crushing 214-run defeat in the opening match of the series, the South African camp has added batter Matthew Breetzke to the squad ahead of the second Test. Breetzke replaces Tristan Stubbs in the lineup, while Ryan Rickelton is slated to take over wicketkeeping duties from Kyle Verreynne.

Coach Shukri Conrad pointed to Breetzke's fiery attitude and combative reputation as key reasons for his selection. The hosts may also welcome back pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada as they look to level the series.
