The Champions Trophy 2025 will begin on February 19 and South Africa has now announced its team. On January 13, team head coach Rob Walter revealed the 15-member squad. Temba Bavuma will play as South Africa’s captain.

During Bavuma’s captaincy, South Africa progressed to the final of the World Test Championship 2023-25, where they are set to face Australia in June. The team’s Champions Trophy squad appears to be very strong, strengthened by the return of fast bowlers Anrich Norkia and Lungi Ngidi, who haven’t played in the ODI tournament since September 2023. Norkia also missed the ODI World Cup 2023 due to a stress fracture in his reverse. Lungi Ngidi has been absent from international cricket since October 2024 because of a back injury.

The main team that guided South Africa to the semifinals of the 2023 ODI World Cup has largely been retained. Ten members of the team share the same names as those who competed in that World Cup. Wiaan Mulder, who will be playing in a 50-over ICC event for the first time, Tristan Stubbs, Ryan Rickelton, and Tony De Zorzi are among the new players on the team.
“This team has a wealth of experience. Recent performances in ICC events show that we are capable of reaching the last stage of global tournaments,” Rob Walter stated when the South African team was announced. We are eager to advance in our pursuit of this title and take the next phase.
