Dean Elgar aims for long partnership with Markram in Bangladesh Test series
Senior Proteas opener Dean Elgar is hoping to create stability with new Test partner Aiden Markram that will last for a number of seasons. Elgar‚ who has recently opened with Stiaan van Zyl‚ Stephen Cook‚ Theunis de Bruyn and Heino Kuhn‚ says having a consist partner at the top will benefit the team against Bangladesh‚ India and Australia. The Proteas’s long summer starts in earnest in Potchefstroom on Thursday against lowly rated Bangladesh in the first of two Tests. "I have been asked this question of having a new partner all the time at every media conference and the thing is maybe I was not outspoken about it in the past‚" Elgar said on Monday.
