South Africa have several new faces in their squad for the three-match Twenty20 International series against India starting at Kingsmead, Durban, on Sunday. Despite the unfamiliar line-up, Captain Aiden Markram expresses confidence in their ability to assert an attacking style, looking ahead to next year's World Cup.
With key players given a rest, the hosts have introduced batters Matthew Breetzke and Donovan Ferreira, along with seamers Ottniel Baartman, Nandre Burger and Lizaad Williams to their squad for the series. A notable addition on Friday was Beuran Hendricks, who hasn't played for the team in over two years; he was included late after regular player Lungi Ngidi withdrew due to injury.
