Injured Bavuma ruled out; Maharaj and Miller to lead white-ball teams in England and Ireland

By Chris On Jun 29, 2022

Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of South Africa’s all-format tour of England and two T20Is against Ireland after picking up an elbow injury during the recent T20Is in India. Keshav Maharaj and David Miller have been named captains of the ODI and T20I sides respectively in Bavuma’s absence. Bavuma is expected to take around eight weeks to recover.

The tour will mark the international comeback for Rilee Rossouw. The 32-year-old batter played the last of his 51 international games in October 2016 during the T20 World Cup in India, and after signing a Kolpak deal with Hampshire, hasn’t turned out for South Africa again. Meanwhile, 21-year-old quick bowler Gerald Coetzee has received his maiden international call-up. Both Rossouw and Coetzee have been included only in the T20I squads.

Kagiso Rabada, the fast-bowling frontman, has been rested for the ODI series as part of his workload management.

South Africa’s tour will run from July 19 to September 12. They will play three ODIs, three T20Is and three Tests against England and two T20Is against Ireland in Bristol. The tour will begin with the white-ball games against England, followed by the matches against Ireland, before the Test matches are held.

Test squad: Dean Elgar (capt), Sarel Erwee, Keegan Petersen, Ryan Rickelton, Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, Khaya Zondo, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Duanne Olivier, Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, Simon Harmer, Lutho Sipamla, Keshav Maharaj, Glenton Stuurman, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje.
