Phillip Hughes and Phil Jaques are pushing to replace Matthew Hayden in the Test team. They will both play for New South Wales from Friday, but Jamie Pandaram reports in the Sydney Morning Herald that both openers might make it to South Africa.
Hughes faces the five most important days of his young career, with Australian selector Jamie Cox travelling more than 1600 kilometres to see whether the youngster is good enough for the Test team. And Cox has revealed Hughes and fellow Blues opener Phil Jaques could both earn selection for the tour.
