Anrich Nortje Prepares for Test Comeback Ahead of Australia Series
South African pacer Anrich Nortje is preparing for a Test cricket comeback after nearly three and a half years, focusing on rebuilding his red-ball skills and workload. Despite last playing a Test in March 2023 and facing back injuries, Nortje has worked closely with national bowling coach Piet Botha, using video analysis to improve his bowling action for longer formats. He has been a leading white-ball bowler but emphasizes his commitment to Test cricket ahead of the ICC World Test Championship series against Australia starting October 9.
