    Bavuma Out Of Pakistan Tests Due To Calf Strain; De Kock Reverses ODI Retirement

    By IANS News September 22, 2025 • 14:18 PM View: 1071
    OR Tambo International Airport: South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the upcoming Test series against Pakistan due to his recovery from a grade two left calf strain sustained during the tour of England. In his absence, Aiden Markram will lead the Test side.

    Bavuma will be sidelined for six to eight weeks, with his current focus on being fully ready for the tour of India in November. Spinner Simon Harmer has earned a recall to the Test team for the first time since March 2023, joining fellow spinners Senuran Muthusamy and Prenelan Subrayan in the squad.

    Keshav Maharaj has been named for the second Test only, as he nears full fitness following a left groin strain.
