Cricket: Proteas coach says Brevis is better suited for the white-ball game

# Cricket: Proteas coach Shukri Conrad believes explosive young batter Dewald Brevis is better suited for the limited-over format. That is the reason he wasn’t included in the preliminary squad for next month’s Test series against Australia, and will also not play any Tests this summer. Conrad compares the 23-year-old with former Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal, regarded by many as a claycourt specialist, saying Brevis is rather a white-ball specialist. But he thinks he would probably do good in Tests on the Asian subcontinent.
