Cricket South Africa (CSA) is pleased to announce the 16-strong, Proteas men’s squad that will take on Bangladesh in the three-match, Betway One-Day International (ODI) series from 18 to 23 March in Centurion and Johannesburg.
The series will form part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.
Temba Bavuma will lead an unchanged outfit, with the exception of Sisanda Magala who was not
available for selection due to a failed fitness Test. Anrich Nortje was also not considered, as he
continues rehabilitation from a hip injury.
The Proteas ODI squad against Bangladesh is as follows:
Temba Bavuma (captain, Imperial Lions), Keshav Maharaj (vice-captain, Hollywoodbets Dolphins),
Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper, Momentum Multiply Titans), Zubayr Hamza (Six Gun Grill Western
Province), Marco Jansen (Gbets Warriors), Janneman Malan (Gbets Paarl Rocks), Aiden Markram
(Momentum Multiply Titans), David Miller (Hollywoodbets Dolphins), Lungi Ngidi (Momentum
Multiply Titans), Wayne Parnell (Six Gun Grill Western Province), Andile Phehlukwayo (Hollywoodbets
Dolphins), Dwaine Pretorius (North West Dragons), Kagiso Rabada (Imperial Lions), Tabraiz Shamsi
(Momentum Multiply Titans), Rassie van der Dussen (Imperial Lions), Kyle Verreynne (Six Gun Grill
Western Province).
CSA Convenor of Selectors, Mr Victor Mpitsang said:
“The National Selection Panel and I are looking forward to another exciting ODI series at home. With
ICC World Cup qualification points in the balance, it was vital for us not to tinker with a winning
combination.
“After a great performance against a very strong Indian side, we felt it was important to reward the
good performances of the previous series and to continue to back this growing team.
“Consistency in selection and performance are just some of the key elements that need to be looked
after, especially when building up to a World Cup, and we are looking forward to seeing what this
Temba Bavuma-led group will produce against fresh opposition in the coming weeks.
“On behalf of the Panel, I would like to wish him and coach Mark Boucher, all the best for the series.”
