Keshav Maharaj will lead South Africa within the five-match T20 International (T20I) collection towards New Zealand, which takes place from March 15-25. Five uncapped gamers have been named to the 15-member squad.
Maharaj, who’s taking part in within the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, is without doubt one of the three gamers from the present squad to function on the New Zealand tour. George Linde and Jason Smith will even journey to New Zealand for the bilateral collection.
“Keshav has expertise captaining the Proteas and has led two groups to the SA20 finals,” South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad mentioned.
“His leadership and calm presence make him the ideal person to lead this group on this tour. With this series taking place directly after the T20 World Cup, the majority of that squad will return home, which creates a great opportunity for this group of players to step into the international environment and show what they’re about at this level.”
