Bavuma, de Zorzi, Jansen, Maharaj, Markram, Rabada, Stubbs and Rickelton will have a four-day turnaround between the end of the ODI series and the start of the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan. South Africa need one more Test win to guarantee themselves a place at next year's World Test Championship final.

The ODI series is set to commence on December 17, just three days after the conclusion of the T20I leg of the series.

Maphaka will join Kagiso Rabada, who makes his return to the ODI squad for the first time since the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup semi-final against Australia in November. The squad also features Hollywoodbets Dolphins fast bowler Ottneil Baartman, alongside all-rounders Marco Jansen and Andile Phehlukwayo.

South Africa have announced a strong squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Pakistan. The series is important as it gives the side their last chance to play together before next year's ICC Champions Trophy.

Tammy Beaumont's unbeaten 65 helps England win a rain-affected third one-day international in Potchefstroom, and seal a 2-1 series win.

England scrapped their way to a six-wicket win in the third ODI against South Africa on Wednesday to win the series 2-1, relying on the steadying hand of Tammy Beaumont after Marizanne Kapp had left them wobbling perilously at 25 for three.
