Simon Harmer urges more Tests for South Africa after series win

Simon Harmer called for more Test cricket for South Africa after the team defeated Australia 2-1. He took a 10-wicket haul in the third Test at Cape Town and questioned the imbalance in the current schedule. Allan Donald said Australia brings out a different fire in Kagiso Rabada's belly. Rabada reached his 350th Test wicket during the series. Mike Hussey joined Australia's coaching staff after the South Africa series. His next assignments are the Ashes and the 2027 World Cup. Simon Harmer moved up nine places to seventh in the ICC Test bowling rankings. Marco Jansen reached a new career-high rating as the top Test all-rounder while Wiaan Mulder moved up one place to third in the all-rounder list.
