South Africa and Pakistan are all set to face each other in a three-match T20I series starting from October 28 in Rawalpindi as the two teams prepare for the T20 World Cup 2026.
The Proteas will be missing some key faces in the squad with the likes of Aiden Markram, Tristan Stubbs, and Keshav Maharaj rested, while David Miller pulled out of the series due to injury.
South Africa's bowling front is also a blend of experience and inexperience, with Gerald Coetzee out with injury. Lungi Ngidi leads the pace attack that also features Corbin Bosch, Nandre Burger, George Linde, Ottneil Baartman, Lizaad Williams and Andile Simelane.
Meanwhile, Pakistan have gone back to their core players with Babar Azam and Naseem Shah making a return with Shaheen Shah Afridi also present in the squad. Haris Rauf has been dropped from the team that will be led by Salman Ali Agha, while four players who played in the Asia Cup 2025 final against India have also been dropped.
Eyes will also be on Quinton de Kock, who is back from the T20I exile and the ODI retirement, having featured in a one-off T20I against Namibia earlier in the month, when he scored just one.
