South Africa have announced their playing combination for the World Test Championship Final 2025. The summit clash of the WTC 2023-25 clash will see the Proteas crossing swords against reigning champions Australia at the Lord’s in London. The ultimate Test, which is supposed to begin June 11, will see the Proteas being led by star batter Temba Bavuma, while Kyle Verrynne will be the wicketkeeper. Ace pacers Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi have also found a place in the XI.
All-rounder Wiaan Mulder will be batting at No. 3 and will be holding key to their top-order, while the openers will be Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton. The left-handed opener can also act as backup wicketkeeping option in case the mainstay Verreynne is unavailable. Skipper Bavuma is slated to bat at No. 4, which will be followed by Tristan Stubbs and David Bedingham at 5 and 6, respectively. Tall all-rounder Marco Jansen provides handy batting option in the lower middle-order as well as the third seam option.
Keshav Maharaj will be featuring for the Rainbow Nation as the specialist spinner, and might receive support from Markram if the need be.
