New Delhi: Rassie van der Dussen has been appointed as South Africa’s captain for their upcoming T20I tri-series against hosts’ Zimbabwe and New Zealand, set to take place in Harare from July 14-26. The squad also features four first-timers in Corbin Bosch, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Rubin Hermann and Senuran Muthusamy.
Both Pretorius and Hermann were among the breakout stars of the 2025 SA20 tournament for Paarl Royals. Pretorius finished as the tournament’s leading run-scorer with 397 runs at a strike rate of more than 166, including a blistering 97 off 51 balls against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. On the other hand, batting at number three, Hermann recorded 333 runs at a strike rate of 128.08 and an equally impressive average of 41.43.
Bosch, who is already capped in ODIs and Tests for South Africa, played a key role in MI Cape Town’s maiden SA20 title-winning campaign last season, taking 11 wickets in eight matches.
Dewald Brevis marks his return to the T20I setup after having last featured in two matches against Australia in 2023. Fast bowlers Nandre Burger and Gerald Coetzee are also primed to make a return to international cricket after being included in T20I squad.
Burger is back in the national set-up for the first time since October after recovering from a lumbar stress fracture, while Coetzee, now fully fit following a groin injury, last played for the Proteas in November last year.
