Paterson was called up on Monday to replace the injured Morne Morkel for the second Test against Bangladesh that starts in Bloemfontein on Friday.

“Dane did very well in the T20s against England earlier this year, particularly when it came to death bowling,” said Cricket South Africa selection panel official Linda Zondi.
