This team will be under the captaincy of the seasoned player Temba Bavuma. Among the chosen players, Matthew Breetzke stands out as the sole newcomer yet to make his debut, highlighting the absence of many of the team's seasoned players. The exclusion of several key pacers for the Bangladesh series has raised questions. Notably missing from the lineup are Anrich Nortje, Marco Jansen, Lungi Ngidi, and Gerald Coetzee. While the reasons for Ngidi's absence remain undisclosed, Jansen and Coetzee have been reportedly rested. Nortje's involvement in the Caribbean Premier League has led to his non-selection. In light of these absences, Kagiso Rabada is set to lead the pace attack, supported by Nandre Burger, Dane Paterson, and all-rounder Wiaan Mulder. In anticipation of the spin-friendly conditions in Bangladesh, South Africa has bolstered its spin department. Keshav Maharaj is to lead the spin department, whereas Senuran Muthusamy has been recalled for the Test series. South Africa's Test coach, Shukri Conrad, expressed his confidence in the depth and adaptability of the squad to tackle the challenges ahead. "We have three frontline spinners and all of them have the ability to step up at any time they are needed. This is a great chance for someone like Senuran, who has potential to make a mark with both bat and ball. We are really looking forward to seeing what he can offer. Overall, we trust the depth and versatility in our squad to meet this challenge head-on," Conrad said.
