Zimbabwe opener Prince Masvaure missed the second Test against South Africa at Queens Sports Club on Sunday due to a respiratory tract infection. Masvaure was excluded from Zimbabwe’s playing XI after being declared unfit to play. “”Masvaure is suffering from a respiratory tract infection and was deemed unfit to play,” Zimbabwe Cricket stated. Masvaure had joined the team as a concussion replacement for Brian Bennett during the first Test last week. Bennett is still unavailable for selection as he recovers from the concussion he sustained in that match. Dion Myers has been named as Masvaure’s replacement, one of two changes to the Zimbabwe playing XI for the second Test. The other change is Kundai Matigimu making his Test debut, replacing Vincent Masekesa. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field first, being 0-1 down in the two-match series against the world champions. “We’ll have a bowl first. We were missing an extra seamer in the first Test, we had then a few wickets early. We’re going with an extra seamer today to use that early movement. The morale is good, we have been on the road quite a bit. Just about getting the basics right, bat deep. We’ve got two changes – Dion Myers is in,” Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine said at the toss. Who Is Leading South Africa? South Africa, missing Keshav Maharaj due to a groin injury, have Wiann Mulder as the stand-in skipper for the match. Maharaj’s absence allowed fellow left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy to return to the playing XI after a nine-month gap. The visitors also handed debuts to batter Lesego Senokwane and spin all-rounder Prenelan Subrayen, replacing opener Matthew Breetzke and left-arm seamer Kwena Maphaka. “Extremely proud moment for me and my family, very lucky to have some guys who have been with me since my U19 days. We had some days off, spent some time together. We’ve got a few changes, couple of new guys coming into the team. We are going into the sub-continent from here, so we want to give the spinners some match time. This wicket also flattens out, so it should be helpful for them. The pacers that we have are known for bowling long overs either way. We were looking to bat first either way, happy with the toss,” Mulder said.
