Muthusamy Returns to South Africa Squad for India Test, Ancestral Ties Add Intrigue

Guwahati, India – The second Test match between India and South Africa commenced today in Guwahati, with the Proteas making a notable change to their lineup. Senuran Muthusamy, a slow left-arm orthodox spinner, has been brought into the squad, replacing Corbin Bosch.

Muthusamy’s inclusion is particularly interesting due to his ancestral connection to India. While born and raised in Durban, South Africa, Muthusamy’s family hails from the Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu, forging a unique bond with the host nation.

This marks a return to Test cricket for Muthusamy, who debuted against India in 2019, famously taking the wicket of Virat Kohli for his first Test scalp. After a period of sporadic appearances, he recently showcased his potential with a remarkable 11-wicket haul against Pakistan, earning him a Player of the Month nomination for October 2025. The impressive performance underscores his potential to make a significant impact in Indian conditions.

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and elected to bat first.

R. Ashwin also tweeted about Muthusamy’s inclusion in the team.
