South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad has cautioned his side against complacency ahead of their upcoming home test series against Bangladesh, emphasizing the visiting side's potential to exploit local pitch conditions despite South Africa's recent series victory over Australia.

Speaking on the upcoming fixtures, Conrad highlighted Bangladesh's formidable seam bowling attack, noting that their pace lineup could prove particularly effective in the Highveld conditions.

The head coach reminded his squad of Bangladesh's historic victory over Australia, stressing that every test series remains paramount and requires complete physical and tactical preparation.

Conrad maintained that while the team draws confidence from their recent performances, they remain focused on sustained improvement, consistency, and maintaining high standards to retain their position at the top level.

Bangladesh are currently competing in a home test series against the West Indies before embarking on their tour to South Africa.
