‌South Africa has announced their T20I squad for the upcoming home series against Pakistan, with star wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen appointed as captain for the three-match series, starting on December 10 in Durban. The regular white-ball captain, Aiden Markram, is currently involved in the Test series against Sri Lanka and will miss the T20Is, along with key players Kagiso Rabada, Tristan Stubbs, and Marco Jansen, who are all unavailable due to the quick turnaround between formats.

Cricket South Africa confirmed that these players will return for the One-Day International series against Pakistan, as part of their preparations for next year’s ICC Champions Trophy. The squad also sees the return of experienced fast bowler Anrich Nortje and star spinner Tabraiz Shamsi, both of whom are included in the T20I side for the first time since the 2024 World Cup. Veteran Rassie van der Dussen and rising talent Kwena Maphaka have also been selected, while all-rounder George Linde makes his comeback to the squad after three years.

The first match will be held in Durban on December 10, followed by back-to-back clashes in Pretoria on December 13 and Johannesburg on December 14.

South Africa T20I Squad vs Pakistan: Heinrich Klaasen (c), Ottneil Baartman, Matthew Breetzke, Donovan Ferreira, Reeza Hendricks, Patrick Kruger, George Linde, Kwena Maphaka, David Miller, Anrich Nortje, Nqaba Peter, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Andile Simelane and Rassie van der Dussen.
