Bavuma To Miss 1st ODI Against Pakistan To Manage His Workload Ahead Of Test Series
World Test Championship: South Africa captain Temba Bavuma will miss the ODI series opener against Pakistan on Tuesday in Paarl to manage his workload ahead of the two crucial Tests which can decide Proteas' qualification for the World Test Championship (WTC) final.
In Bavuma's absence, Aiden Markram will lead the home side with the former set to play the remainder of the games in the series.
These matches mark South Africa's first and final opportunity to field their strongest squad ahead of the Champions Trophy. However, the team faces the challenge of balancing preparations for the marquee event while keeping their Test players rested. Eight members of the ODI squad - Bavuma, Markram, Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, Ryan Rickelton, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, and Kagiso Rabada - played pivotal roles in the recent 2-0 Test series victory over Sri Lanka and are likely to feature against Pakistan as well.
