    Bavuma Ruled Out Of Zimababwe Tests, Maharaj To Lead South Africa On Tour

    By IANS News June 20, 2025 • 18:04 PM View: 450
    ICC World Test Championship Final: South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series against Zimbabwe due to a left hamstring strain suffered during the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at Lord's last week.

    Bavuma, who will undergo further scans to determine the extent of the injury, battled the pain during the second innings and played a pivotal knock of 66 along with Aiden Markram's 136 which guided them to the WTC title.

    In Bavuma's absence, the world champions will be led by spinner Keshav Maharaj in the series which gets underway from June 28 in Bulawayo. The series will also mark the start of the new WTC cycle for both sides.
