The fast bowler did not even flinch as the long swab went into his nostril and got up flaunting his muscles. Verreynne, however, did not seem to like the procedure much as CSA tagged the batsman on twitter teasing him for having ‘low pain threshold.’

Earlier, England Cricket Board had shared a similar video of its star all-rounder Ben Stokes going through the test. Teasing the player, they wrote, “A different welcome to normal for Stokes” with a teary-eyed laughing emoji. The player’s reaction was close to that of Verreynne’s, followed by laughter bursts of officials in the background.
