South Africa announce squad for India series, Temba Bavuma rested from ODIs

In recent news, South Africa announced their Test, ODI, and T20I squads for their scheduled series against India. Notably, Captain Temba Bavuma and fast bowler Kagiso Rabada have been rested from ODIs and T20Is. However, the duo will return for the Test series that will begin on December 26.

Bavuma captained South Africa to the semi-final at the recently completed World Cup and remains the appointed fifty-over captain. The T20I skipper Aiden Markram will lead during Temba Bavuma’s absence for the India series.

The South African Cricket team took to their official handle on X (formerly Twitter) ‘@ProteasMenCSA’ to officially announce their squads for the upcoming matches across all formats. Take a look:
