“A lot of people didn’t give us that kind of statistics at the beginning of the season, but it’s great for us to have numbers. There has been a lot of work behind the scenes. ” Elgar told reporters after South Africa’s 332-run victory over Bangladesh at St George’s Park on Monday.
“We are on the right track and working in the right direction. I am very proud of Test summer and the depth we have shown in our selection pool has given the boys a chance to see what Test cricket is all about.
The hosts had six players who were selected to play in the lucrative Indian Premier League in the Bangladesh series, and Elgar made it clear that not everyone would return.
They include batsmen Aiden Markram and Rossi van der Dussen and pace quartets of Kagiso Rabada, Enrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Johnson.

“It simply came to our notice then. You don’t always want more than one option, and with just the boys experience you create a lot more depth going forward. Our Test team is in very good condition.
He acknowledged concerns about the batting department, which has managed just two centuries all summer, both coming through in the second Test against New Zealand via Sarel Erwie and Kyle Veren.
“We need to mark a few more centuries. We know how much pressure this puts on the opposition. Our batting is probably a negative field. We are aware of this and are working hard. “
South Africa will tour England from July to September and Australia in the new year.
