Loading player...
The long wait could finally be over for Dolphins captain Marques Ackerman, who is in line to make his Proteas debut when South Africa face Australia in the first Test in Durban this week.
Ackerman has spent years knocking on the door of international cricket, and his latest performances have made it increasingly difficult to ignore his claims.
The 30-year-old recently struck a magnificent 256 for South Africa A in an unofficial Test against Bangladesh A in Pretoria – the highest score of his first-class career and another reminder of the quality and consistency he has produced over a prolonged period.
