Rassie van der Dussen is still grappling with his finger injury and South Africa management has not counted him in the T20 World Cup squad. On the contrary, Temba Bavuma has fully recovered from the elbow injury and is ready to lead the Proteas in a second consecutive World Cup.
CSA Convenor of Selectors Victor Mpitsanghas stated, “This has been a really tough squad to select, simply because we had so many players in excellent form over the past few months and performing at a level that made the selectors sit up and notice them. Overall we are delighted with mix of players that have been chosen and look forward to watching them represent the country in Australia.”
The squad includes Temba Bavuma (captain), Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, Reeza Hendricks, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Wayne Parnell, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Rillee Rossouw, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs.
