St Lucia, June 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) Host West Indies won the toss and elected to bat in first of the two Tests against South Africa here on Thursday.
While batsmen Kyle Verreynne and Keegan Petersen are making their debut for South Africa, pace bowler Jayden Seales is playing his first Test for West Indies.
The 19-year-old Seales, who hails from Trinidad & Tobago, has played only one first-class game -- for West Indies A in New Zealand last December -- and has been fast-tracked to Test cricket. He is considered to be an exciting prospect and one for the future.
