The South Africa cricket team will head into the ODI series brimming with confidence after securing a 2-0 win over Pakistan in the recently-concluded T20I series.

Ahead of the three-match ODI series, South Africa have announced a star-studded 15-man squad to be led by Temba Bavuma.

The likes of David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj are part of the nine additions to the squad that played the format.

Young left-arm pacer Kwena Maphaka is the only uncapped player included in the ODI squad.

Meanwhile, the hosts will miss the services of several of their pace stars including Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Nandre Burger and Wiaan Mulder due to injuries.

On the other hand, the Pakistan cricket team will look to bounce back after their disappointing performance in the T20I series.

Wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan will once again lead Pakistan in the upcoming ODI series.

Sufiyan Muqeem, the 25-year-old left-arm wrist-spinner, has retained his place in the ODI squad.

Shaheen Shah Afridi will spearhead the pace bowling attack. Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Hasnain and Muhammad Irfan Khan are the other fast bowling options in the squad.

Captain Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Abdullah Shafique, Saim Ayub, Kamran Ghulam and Salman Ali Agha will play a key role in the batting department.
