Quinton de Kock, who already took the retirement from ODI cricket after last year’s world cup, and had also bid farewell to test cricket, has been included in the 15-member squad, despite not being a member of South Africa’s central contract list.  

While Anrich Nortje, who is facing tough time with the ball in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), also made the cut. Nortje has missed the international cricket action since September 2023 owing to a back injury.
