NEW FACES
Titans and former SA U19 batter Dewald Brevis earns his maiden call-up to both the T20 International (T20I) and one-day international (ODI) squads.
The 20-year-old made a name for himself as the leading run-scorer at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup in January 2022 with 506 runs – the most by any batter in a single edition of the tournament.
Joining Brevis in the T20I squad for the first time are his Titans teammates Donovan Ferreira and Gerald Coetzee - the latter could add to his test and ODI caps if selected - as well as Matthew Breetzke.
COMEBACK
Keshav Maharaj has been included for the second and third T20Is as well as the ODI squad as the spinner continues his comeback from a ruptured left Achilles tendon, which he sustained during the Betway test series against West Indies in March.
KEY PLAYERS RESTED
Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada are rested for the three-match KFC T20I series and will return for the five-match Betway ODI series.
The 15-player squad for the World Cup will be announced on 5 September.
