South Africa drop Tristan Stubbs, Ryan Rickelton from 15-man T20 World Cup squad

Aiden Markram has been named captain for the Proteas, continuing his duties as leader for a team which is much-changed compared to the one that fell inches short of the line in Barbados in 2024. Heinrich Klaasen’s retirement means he is not in the picture, and nor are Tristan Stubbs or Ryan Rickelton, surprise absences in the midst of some poor form.

Added to the squad instead are first-time players at the World Cup for the Proteas, headlined by Dewald Brevis and Corbin Bosch. Also in these ranks are Donovan Ferreira, George Linde, and Kwena Maphaka.

Aiden Markram (captain), Corbin Bosch, Dewald Brevis, Quinton de Kock, Tony de Zorzi, Donovan Ferreira, Marco Jansen, George Linde, Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Maphaka, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Jason Smith
