Cricket South Africa announced Keegan Peterson as the replacement for injured Aiden Markram for the second Test against England in Cape Town.
The right-hand batsman is set to make his Test debut after consistently performing well in the CSA Domestic Franchise Four-Day series over an extended period of time.
The player last featured for South Africa A and smashed 111 runs against England.
The 26-year-old has 88 First-Class matches under the belt with 5,490 runs, a high score of 225 not out and an average of 40.66.
Markram will go under the knife early this week after sustaining a fracture to his fourth left finger on Day Two of the Centurion Test.
