“He will be a big part of the side, he will be one of those guys who, through performances domestically, [and] knowing his character, is someone we will start building the Test side around,” Conrad said. “Rickelton deserves his crack at it, he’s been churning it out,” Conrad added. “We went with Keegan in the first Test simply because he was the incumbent. Him being left out is not on the back of two non-scoring performances.”
“We got a good result in Centurion, but we weren’t particularly good. The West Indies were. The wicket was tough, but that doesn’t mean we just roll over as we did the other day and have done in the past.
