South Africa has made two major changes in its team for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Tristan Stubbs and Ryan Rickleton were not part of South Africa’s original squad, but now both have been included in the World Cup team. On the other hand, Tony De Jorji and Donovan Ferreira have been dropped from the squad. The South African has not made changes in the squad after any reconsideration but has had to make changes due to injuries. Further changes in the squad are possible due to injuries.
Will David Miller also be out?
There is also increased concern in the South African camp regarding David Miller, who has not been able to represent the Paarl Royals team even in the eliminator match of SA20. Apart from him, Lungi Ngidi was also able to bowl half the overs for Pretoria Capitals in the first qualifier match against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. It is expected that Ngidi will be fit before the World Cup, but due to this, Otniel Bartman, who is the bowler taking the most wickets (17) in SA20 so far, may miss the World Cup.
South Africa’s updated squad: Aiden Markram (captain), Corbin Bosch, Dewald Brewis, Quinton de Kock, Marco Jansen, George Linde, Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Mfaka, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Jason Smith, Tristan Stubbs.
The one over whose selection there was an uproar, is now out.
Despite poor form, Tony De Jorzi was included in South’s original squad. There was a huge uproar regarding his selection. Ryan Rickleton, who performed brilliantly in SA20, was kept out. On Thursday, the South African Cricket Board issued a statement saying that De Jorji will not be able to recover from the hamstring injury, in such a situation Rickleton’s name has come up.
South Africa is included in Group D of T20 World Cup 2026. Afghanistan, Canada, New Zealand and UAE are also present in this group.
