Baugh, Sanford, Mohamed in 12

Carlton Baugh is set to walk in Jeffrey Dujon's footsteps -- literally.

The Jamaican wicketkeeper-batsman has been named in the West Indies 12-man squad for the second Test against South Africa and will make the final eleven purely as a batsman. Baugh joined fast bowler Adam Sanford and left-arm wrist spinner Dave Mohamed as the changes for the Boxing Day Test.

Back in 1981, on the West Indies tour of Australia, Dujon made his Test debut as a fill-in batsman on tour and was in the field as David Murray minded the stumps. In this Test, Baugh will be in the field with Ridley Jacobs behind the stumps.

Baugh played in two Test earlier this year in the Caribbean as a temporary replacement for the injured Jacobs.

On the morning of the match, the selector will decide between Sanford or Mohamed to replace the injured Chris Gayle and Corey Collymore.
