    WTC Final: Temba Bavuma To Lead Pace-heavy South Africa Squad Against Australia

    By IANS News May 13, 2025 • 15:46 PM View: 597
    World Trest Championship Final: South Africa have announced a formidable 15-member squad for their historic first appearance in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final, scheduled to take place at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground from June 11, 2025. Temba Bavuma will lead the Proteas against defending champions Australia in what promises to be a classic contest between two proud Test cricketing nations.

    A significant boost for South Africa comes in the form of Lungi Ngidi, who returns to red-ball cricket after recovering from a groin injury that sidelined him during the home Test summer. The right-arm quick, having featured in white-ball matches earlier this year and several T20 leagues around the globe, is now fit and ready to bolster an already potent pace attack.

    Head coach Shukri Conrad, while unveiling the squad, expressed confidence in the team’s readiness and balance tailored for English conditions. “Firstly, I want to congratulate each of the players selected for this squad. It is a special moment for this group to contest the WTC Final. Over the past 18 months, we’ve worked hard to build a competitive red-ball unit, and this achievement reflects that progress,” Conrad said.
