The Afghanistan-South Africa ODI series will conclude on Sunday (September 22). Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah, UAE will host all the three matches with the second ODI scheduled to be held on Friday (September 20). This will be the first bilateral series in the format between the two sides, having played their previous meetings in the World Cup. As for the squads, Afghanistan will be without the services of Ibrahim Zadran and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, but Rashid Khan returns to the squad that will be led by Hashmatullah Shahidi. The remainder of the squad is identical to the one that won 2-0 against Ireland earlier this year in March. South Africa, on the other hand, has handed a maiden call up to all-rounder Andile Simelane, while the likes of Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj and Anrich Nortje have been rested. Additionally, all-rounder Jason Smith and spinner Nqaba Peter, who featured in T20Is, are in-line to make their ODI debuts in the team led by Temba Bavuma. The batting line up will also include the likes of Tristan Stubbs, Tony De Zorzi and Aiden Markram among others. The Proteas have received a significant boost with the return of pace bowler Lungi Ngidi, who has fully recovered from a right calf injury. Ngidi will join Ottneil Baartman, Nandre Burger, Lizaad Williams and Bjorn Fortuin as pace bowling options. Wiaan Mulder and Andile Phehlukwayo will be among the all-rounders. Kyle Verreynne will share the wicketkeeping role with Stubbs.
