SOMERSET’S Migael Pretorius has been called up as a last minute replacement for the injured Gerald Coetzee for South Africa’s upcoming two match Test series against West Indies. Pretorius has enjoyed success since joining the Cidermen earlier this season

The tour gets underway with a four day warm up match against West Indies Invitation XI in Trinidad and Tobago before the Test Series begins on August 9 which will played at the same venue.

The Second Test begins on August 15 in Guyana and is due to finish on the 19th, so it's likely that Migael will be available for Somerset’s next championship match which is against Durham at Taunton on 22nd August.

Since joining Somerset as overseas player earlier this season Migael has taken 23 wickets and also scored 400 runs in the championship.

Migael will be the second player involved in the upcoming series who will be using a Millichamp and Hall cricket bat handmade in Taunton at the Cooper Associates County Ground.

Rob Chambers, the owner of M&H, said: “Its great news to have another player using M&H bats and equipment at international level. Migael’s selection means that currently M&H has 11 players who are current internationals.”
