South Africa drop Bedingham and recall Hamza for Bangladesh Tests

South Africa have dropped David Bedingham from their squad for two home Tests against Bangladesh later this month.

Bedingham had returned to the team for the recent three-Test series against Australia, which South Africa won 2-1.

Tony de Zorzi returns to the squad, while Zubayr Hamza has also been recalled after time away from Test cricket.

Anrich Nortje is included after recovering from a groin injury sustained during the Australia series.

De Zorzi is expected to open with Aiden Markram, while Marques Ackermann may move into the No.

3 role.

The changes reshape South Africa's batting order ahead of the Bangladesh series.

The two Tests are scheduled to be played in South Africa later this month.
