Maharaj Keen To Stake Claim For 2026 T20 WC Despite Recent Series Omission

By IANS News August 17, 2025 • 15:52 PM View: 588

The T20 World Cup: South Africa veteran left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj said he remains determined to stake for a spot in the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup after being overlooked for the recent T20I series against Australia.

Maharaj is one of five changes to South Africa’s ODI squad that will face Australia at the Cazalys Stadium from Tuesday, alongside skipper Temba Bavuma, Wiaan Mulder, Matthew Breetzke and Tony de Zorzi.

He missed South Africa’s recent Test series win against Zimbabwe with a groin strain, but confirmed the injury had no bearing on his omission from the T20I series, which the visitors’ lost 2-1.
