6 huge questions South Africa need to answer during Test series against Aussies

South Africa is preparing to face Australia in a three-Test series starting on Friday at Kingsmead in Durban. Jonhenry Wilson examines key challenges confronting the Proteas, who are playing their first Test match in nearly a year following injuries to key pacers, selection dilemmas, and pitch conditions.

The Proteas face concerns over the fitness of Kagiso Rabada, while Lungi Ngidi and Ottneil Baartman are already ruled out. Tactical questions also surround the choice between spinners Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj, potential batting debuts like Marques Ackerman, and how Kingsmead's turning surface will affect Australia.
