SA v IND: Why did you not choose Duanne Olivier for the Boxing Day test?

Duanne Olivier (Duanne Olivier) is one of South Africa’s highest rated fast bowlers, and it was a huge surprise when he didn’t make the XI. The 29-year-old player has an outstanding record in the longest game. He has scored 48 wickets with an average of less than 20 in just 10 games, and has more than 500 wickets. But a few days ago, the fast bowler tested positive.

Selector convener Victor Mpitsang confirmed that the fast bowler returned with a positive test a few weeks ago, which forced him to isolate himself. In addition, he was injured in a two-day inter-team game, and he was still nursing a hamstring injury. He was the first choice to replace the injured Anrich Nortje in XI, but due to his outstanding performance in the country, he was unsuccessful in scoring 28 wickets with an average of under 12 years old.

“Duanne Olivier is in good health, but did return a positive Covid-19 test result a few weeks ago, which forced him to isolate and take time out of training before the current Betway test series against India. [Covid-19] It did happen when he left, the purpose was to spend time with his family, and his workload was not what the selection team had hoped when it entered the team bubble before the first test game,” said Victor Mpisan as ESPN Quoted by Cricinfo.
