West Indies will start their tour of South Africa with the test series and the opening test to be played at Centurion on Wednesday.

The series seems to be one-sided with South Africa as the favourites to win it. A victory over West Indies will keep them at No.1. A new batsman, likely to be Stiaan van Zyl, will also be tested while JP Duminy recovers from a knee injury; a relatively new opener, Dean Elgar, will have the chance to cement his spot; and two new squad members, Temba Bavuma and Kagiso Rabada, will have the opportunity to be integrated into the national set-up. The hosts will take opportunity of personal growth for their team by testing their youth, which they believe they can afford to have against the No.8-ranked side. The likely South African line-up will include: 1 Alviro Petersen, 2 Dean Elgar, 3 Faf du Plessis, 4 Hashim Amla (capt), 5 AB de Villiers, 6 Stiaan van Zyl, 7 Quinton de Kock (wk), 8 Vernon Philander, 9 Dale Steyn, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Kyle Abbott/Robin Peterson.

On the other hands, West Indies are seen as the underdogs and are in a similar situation, with a squad that contains the experienced and the unknown. The stalwarts, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Marlon Samuels and Denesh Ramdin, have to usher the youngsters – most of whom are bowlers – through a transitional phase. They have to play as a unity against the top side of the test cricket world to prove their worth. The probable West Indian squad will include: 1 Kraigg Brathwaite, 2 Devon Smith, 3 Leon Johnson, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 7 Denesh Ramdin (capt & wk), 8 Jerome Taylor, 9 Kemar Roach, 10 Sheldon Cottrell, 11 Sulieman Benn/Shannon Gabriel.
