Bavuma back to lead Proteas’ T20 World Cup charge
Cricket South Africa on Tuesday named the Proteas squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia.
The 15-player squad and three travelling reserves will also make the trip to India ahead of the tournament for a three-match T20I series in September.
White-ball captain Temba Bavuma will make his return after recovering from an elbow injury suffered in the T20I series against India in June.
Rassie van der Dussen has been ruled out of the tournament due to a fracture of his left index finger that he sustained during the second Test against England in Manchester.
He will require surgery and is expected to take up to at least six weeks to recover.
