South Africa squad for WTC 2025
South Africa has officially named its 15-member squad for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 Final, where they will face defending champions Australia at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. Let us look at the South Africa squad for WTC 2025 in detail.
Led by the composed and tactical Temba Bavuma, the Proteas are set to make their maiden appearance in a WTC final, with a squad that combines experience, youth, and depth in all departments.
One of the most notable inclusions is fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, who returns to the red-ball setup after recovering from a groin injury that sidelined him during the home summer.
Having regained form through white-ball cricket and global T20 leagues, Ngidi bolsters a pace unit that includes Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, Dane Paterson, Corbin Bosch, and Wiaan Mulder, a versatile group capable of troubling any batting lineup in English conditions.
Spin duties will be shared by the experienced Keshav Maharaj and the dependable Senuran Muthusamy, offering balance and control.
The batting order features a solid mix, with Tony de Zorzi, Ryan Rickelton, and Aiden Markram in the top order, while David Bedingham, Tristan Stubbs, and captain Bavuma will stabilize the middle order. Kyle Verreynne, known for his agility and grit, will keep wickets and add depth to the lower middle order.
The squad reflects South Africa’s consistency across the WTC cycle. Dominant at home, with series wins over Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and impressive abroad with victories in the West Indies and Bangladesh, the Proteas finished atop the league standings with a points percentage of 69.44.
Now, as they prepare for their biggest red-ball challenge yet against a formidable Australian side, South Africa will look to seize history and claim their first ICC Test Championship title.
