'Enforcer' Coetzee recalled as Proteas name XI for decider
Key points
- Gerald Coetzee will make his Test return for South Africa in the third match against Australia at Newlands. The 26-year-old replaces Anrich Nortje, who injured his groin after bowling only 3.3 overs in the second Test.
- Captain Temba Bavuma said Coetzee's consistent pace above 140kph earned him the spot. It will be Coetzee's first Test in almost two years.
- Keshav Maharaj misses out again, with Simon Harmer retained as the spinner.
