The 32-year-old, who last played a Test in 2023, is in South Africa’s 18-player preliminary squad for the three-match World Test Championship series against Australia. Nortjé says he has been preparing for a possible recall, admitting that he has been focused on executing his skills with the red ball, building loads gradually, and getting the overs up. The first Test match starts at Kingsmead in Durban on Friday.
