(Reuters) - South Africa are looking to give Tristan Stubbs an extended run at No. 3 in their test batting line-up, starting with this week’s first test against the West Indies in Port of Spain, coach Shukri Conrad said on Tuesday.

Stubbs, who turns 24 next week, has forged a reputation for his swashbuckling and powerful batting in the Twenty20 format but is now set for a role of some responsibility in the test side.
