South African captain Temba Bavuma will miss the first Test against Bangladesh later this month as he recovers from an elbow injury. Bavuma will travel to Bangladesh with the team next week but a left triceps muscle strain will keep him out of the first Test starting in Dhaka on October 21.According to a statement from Cricket South Africa, it is hoped Bavuma will be fit for the second Test starting in Chittagong on October 29.Aiden Markram will captain the team in the first Test. Markram has captained South Africa in white-ball cricket but it will be his first time in charge of the Test team.
