The squad includes fast bowler Gerald Coetzee who made his debut in international cricket earlier this year. Spinner Keshav Maharaj has returned to the team after recovering from the injury.

Gerald has played only two matches

Gerald has played two ODIs so far to which he has taken 5 wickets. He took 3 wickets on his ODI debut. The team includes experienced batsmen like Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, and David Miller. However, star wicketkeeper-batsman de Kock has announced his retirement after the World Cup.

Kagiso Rabada will handle South Africa’s bowling attack. It also includes star bowlers like Enrique Nortje and Lungi Ngidi. The role of spinners will be crucial on Indian pitches. South Africa has given place to spinners like Keshav Maharaj and Tabrez Shamsi in the team for this.
