JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Thursday unveiled its squads for the upcoming white-ball tour of Australia, marking the return of key players though, experienced batter David Miller was notably absent from both the ODI and T20 line-ups.
South Africa’s regular white-ball skippers Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma are set to lead the T20I and ODI squads, respectively, after missing out on the Zimbabwe tour.
Bavuma was out of the Zimbabwe Tests with a hamstring injury sustained at the World Test Championship (WTC) final in June, while Markram was rested from the Proteas Test and T20I series against Zimbabwe.
Among the South African regular players, David Miller and Marco Jansen are not included in either of the squads. The left-arm pacer is out due to injury, while David Miller, who will be playing in the hundred, will return to the team for the White-ball tour of England in September.
South Africa’s pace attack will be led by Kagiso Rabada in both squads, while Keshav Maharaj will take the responsibilities in the spin department, although in ODIs.
The Proteas batting line welcomed the return of opening batter Ryan Rickelton and midlde-order batter Tristan Stubbs. Moreover, young batters Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Dewald Brevis, currently playing in the Zimbabwe tour, have been retained.
