Proteas coach Shukri Conrad isn’t losing any sleep over the fact that during the World Test Championship final in London, they’ll be playing with the Dukes ball.

Neither South Africa nor Australia uses this particular ball in home conditions, and it does take some getting used to.

However, the Proteas will use it in their warm-up match against Zimbabwe, which gets underway this morning in Arundel.

Conrad said there are some positives to using the Dukes ball as well.
