South Africa has announced its 15-member team for the final match of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 ​​against Australia at the historic Lord’s ground between 11 and 15 June. This match will not only conclude the WTC cycle, but South Africa will also have a golden opportunity to win the Test Championship for the first time.

The selectors have designed a balanced team with the combination of experience and youth passion, which strengthens the team’s performance in the recent red-ball matches. Lords Test is also considered a symbol of resurrection in South Africa’s Test cricket.

Return of lungi angidi, Matthew Breetz

The command of the South Africa team has been handed over to experienced batsman Temba Bavuma, who has fulfilled the responsibility of leadership in recent years. Only two changes have been made from the previous series against Pakistan. Lungi Angidi has been included by releasing young fast bowler Quene Mafaka, whose experience of bounce and movement in England’s conditions can prove useful for the team. At the same time, the top order batsman Matthew Breetzke has been excluded due to not being able to perform effectively despite persistent occasions.

These players will be monitored

The team’s batting will start batting, Aidan Markram and Ryan Recelleton, who have been in great form in recent domestic and international cricket. The top order will play an important role in maintaining the stability of Tony de Geori, Captain Temba Bavuma and Kyle Vireni team. Corbin Bosch, Vian Mulder and Marco Yansen have been included as an all -rounder, with both the balls and bat depth to the utility team. The responsibility of spin invasion will be on the shoulders of Keshav Maharaj, who has returned to the team after recovering from injury. In fast bowling, the pair of Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Angidi can prove to be dangerous for the opposing batsmen.
