Though south

ICC World Test Champions: Enoch Nkwe, the Director of National Teams and High Performance at Cricket South Africa (CSA), lauded the Temba Bavuma-led side for their unwavering commitment in winning the 2025 ICC World Test Championship, saying that they are ready to welcome them home as title winners.

At Lord’s on Saturday, South Africa finally broke a 27-year knockouts hoodoo to secure a championship win with a five-wicket victory over defending champions Australia. After ending day three’s play on 213/2, Aiden Markram, who was 102 not out, went on to make a magnificent 136, as the Proteas completed the chase in 83.4 overs to win the Ultimate Test just before lunch on day four.

“This moment is a reminder that no dream is too distant, no challenge insurmountable and no legacy too heavy to carry forward. I commend the unwavering commitment demonstrated by each player, both on and off the field. Reaching this milestone, coupled with remarkable key performances, will undoubtedly be etched into the history books. The next time we see Shukri and his team, we will welcome them as the ICC World Test Champions!” said Nkwe in a CSA statement on Sunday.
