Stubbs has been a regular in white-ball cricket for South Africa but will now get a chance to cement himself in the Test side through the series against West Indies to be played at Trinidad and Guyana from August 7-19.<p>\u201cTristan will bat at No.3 for us\u2026that\u2019s how highly I rate him. Aiden (Markram) and Tony (de Zorzi) will open and Temba (Bavuma) and Bedders (David Bedingham) will be at four and five. Technically Tristan is one of the best around. He\u2019s a helluva player, the type of player I want at the top of the order.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the type of cricketer I want at the top of the order, he\u2019s got all the makings of a top-class No.3 batter. I certainly wouldn\u2019t be giving someone something to do that they aren\u2019t capable of. I\u2019m not hanging him out to dry. Technically he is one of the best around. It\u2019s unfair that people see him as just a white-ball player.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI know it's a different format, but if you look at the way he commanded his space during the World Cup, he has imprinted himself on games. We have eight Tests, he\u2019ll get a really good run. I have to keep an eye on the future with this Test squad and he is definitely part of that future,\u201d said Conrad to reporters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the type of cricketer I want at the top of the order, he\u2019s got all the makings of a top-class No.3 batter.
