As per Cricbuzz, they also have Quinton de Kock as the sole wicket-keeper. David Miller hasn’t been in the greatest of forms for the Proteas and he would want to make some changes to it. Aiden Markram has grown leaps and bounds ever since he made his debut and he will be expected to cut loose under testing conditions. The bowling lineup also looks a formidable one.

Kagiso Rabada, Lungisani Ngidi are the spearheads in the fast-bowling department. The spin department will be handled by left-arm wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi and left-arm orthodox tweaker Keshav Maharaj to shoulder the spin bowling armory. Andile Phehlukwayo’s all-around abilities also need to come to the fore.

Wiaan Mulder played an ODI last year and will be hoping to get a game. Heinrich Klaasen has had a memorable India series and needs to bring his power hitting skills to the front. Junior Dala and Reeza Hendricks are the ones who are yet to play a 50-over match for South Africa.

Here’s the full squad:

Faf du Plessis (c), Hashim Amla, Junior Dala, Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Lungisani Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi
