South African cricketer Aiden Markram is aiming to win trophies instead of being the top batter. He believes South Africa can reach the World Test Championship final again. Markram's drive is fueled by a desire to win and a newfound passion. Aiden Markram and Marques Ackerman were not available following the team announcement. Temba Bavuma supports Ackerman to establish himself in the Proteas' opening role.
