Markram, Bavuma return for SA's white-ball tour of Australia
The Island
|July 25, 2025
South Africa's regular white-ball captains Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma will return to lead the T20I and ODI squads, respectively, for next month's tour of Australia.
-
Markram was rested from South Africa's Test and T20I series in Zimbabwe while Bavuma missed the Zimbabwe Tests with a hamstring injury he sustained at the World Test Championship (WTC) final in June. Both skippers will have relatively full-strength squads available to them.
Notably, the squad was announced a week before Patrick! Moroney, the new convenor of selectors, starts work on August 1, which means this was the last squad that all-format Shukri Conrad picked independently.
"It's great to have our senior players back in the mix after their rest following the WTC Final," Conrad said in a statement. "Their experience and quality add real value to the group as we continue to build a strong core in both formats. Every series from here on plays a part in shaping our squads for next year's T20 World Cup and the 50-over World Cup at home in 2027."
