Test cricket in South Africa is not the right avenue to give youngsters an exposure. It is basically throwing them in the deep end against Morkel Philander and co and setting them up to fail miserably. I am sure once a Mosaddek score 3 ducks people will call for his head in all formats. Youngsters should get exposed through A team tours or through being in the squad for the limited overs side.
