Temba Bavuma will lead the Proteas in the quadrennial event, slated to be held in India from October 5 to November 19.

A notable inclusion in South Africa's World Cup squad is right-arm pacer Gerald Coetzee, who made his international debut earlier this year. In his two ODI appearances so far, Coetzee has picked up five wickets, including a three-wicket haul on debut.
