South Africa have called-up uncapped batsman Rilee Rossouw to replace injured Quinton de Kock for the second Test against the West Indies.

The 25-year-old has yet to play a Test, with his international experience limited to nine one-day games and three Twenty20 matches.

Rossouw is currently nursing a finger injury so Temba Bavuma could be in line to make his Proteas debut in Port Elizabeth.
