South Africa picked an experienced 15-man squad for next month’s Champions Trophy in Pakistan with 10 players having competed at the last World Cup in India in late 2023.

The ongoing edition of SA20 is proving to be troublesome for South Africa. After Anrich Nortje and Rassie van der Dussen, fast bowler Gerald Coetzee suffered a hamstring niggle. He is playing for Joburg Super Kings in SA20 but was left out of the clash against Pretoria Capitals.

Temba Bavuma will lead South Africa's squad for the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025, as the Proteas aim to build on their strong recent form.
