South Africa announce squad for T20I and ODI series against Australia

South Africa has named a strong 15-member squad for their upcoming white-ball away series against Australia, scheduled to take place next month. They are currently playing in the Zimbabwe T20I tri-series involving New Zealand. Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma will return to lead the T20I and ODI squads, respectively.

Dewald Brevis, the upcoming star batter, along with Lhuan-dre-Pretorious, have been selected in both squads. David Miller, the veteran lower-order batter, is not part of both squads due to potentially being available for the Hundred 2025. Keshav Maharaj, who couldn’t take part in the second Bulawayo Test against Zimbabwe, returns for the ODI series.
