South Africa have named their squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Temba Bavuma returns from an elbow injury to captain the side which includes the exciting Tristan Stubbs.
The Proteas have named their 15-man squad for the 2022 Men’s T20 World Cup. The showpiece co,petition will take place in Australia with the Qualifiers getting underway on 16 October and the tournament proper commencing on 22 October.
Temba Bavuma returns from a fractured elbow to captain a Proteas outfit that has improved massively in the shortest format over the last two years. They’ve not lost a bilateral T20I series since Pakistan visited the Republic in 2021.
Since that defeat, the Proteas have claimed series wins against Ireland, England, Sri Lanka and the West Indies while also drawing a series against India.
