Bavuma Returns As South Africa Name Test Squad For India Tour
South Africa Test: Temba Bavuma has made a return as South Africa’s Test captain for the upcoming two-match series against India happening next month, following his recovery from a left calf strain sustained during the England tour in September.
While Bavuma will sit out of South Africa’s white-ball leg of the Pakistan tour, he is set to feature in the second red-ball game for South Africa A against India A at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) Ground in Bengaluru as part of his preparation before rejoining the Proteas Test squad.
Bavuma, who led the Proteas to WTC win at Lord’s in June, had missed the start of South Africa’s campaign in the 2025-27 cycle against Pakistan, where the series ended in a 1-1 draw. Bavuma’s inclusion marks the only change in South Africa’s batting line-up from the Pakistan series, with David Bedingham left out.
