South Africa announce squads for multi-format series against India; Temba Bavuma dropped from ODIs

For the upcoming multi-format series against India, Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced their men’s squads for tღhe Test, One-Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) forma♛ts. The notable exclusion from the ODI squad is Temba Bavuma, who led the Proteas side in the recently-concluded♑ Worl🐎d Cup.

Bavuma’s recent form in ODIs has been under scrutiny, leading the selectors to make a bold decision in favour of Reeza Hendricks, who impressed with his performances in limited op🃏portunities.

So now, Aiden Markram will captain South Afr𓆉ica in both T20Is and ODIs, while the Test squad will be led by Bavum🐬a.

South Africa are scheduled to play 🐈three T20Is, three ODIs and 2 Tests against India from December 10, 2023 to January 7, 2024.
