The team sees the return of Kagiso Rabada to the ODI setup for the first time since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, while David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen rejoin the squad for the first time since December 2023.

Notably, this marks the maiden ODI call-up for promising young talent Kwena Maphaka. The 18-year-old, already experienced in T20Is, was named Player of the Tournament at the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup earlier this year, where he impressed with 21 wickets at an exceptional average of 9.71.

The pace attack includes Ottneil Baartman, with Marco Jansen and Andile Phehlukwayo providing all-round options.

One significant absentee is Anrich Nortje, who misses out due to a toe injury.

Squad: Temba Bavuma (c), Ottneil Baartman, Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Maphaka, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tristan Stubbs, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen
