Slow left-arm orthodox spinner Bjorn Fortuin, fast bowler Ottniel Baartman, and left-handed batter Ryan Rickelton have also been included in the World Cup squad.
Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi will be the primary spin duo for the South African side in the mega-event whereas Heinrich Klaasen will provide the counterattack in the middle order if the Proteas find themselves in a precarious situation while batting.
Speedster Gerald Coetzee has performed consistently in recent months and his inclusion will give an X factor to the South African pace attack whereas Reeza Hendricks who recently played for Multan Sultans can prove to be the backbone in the middle order for the Proteas.
South Africa will be aiming to put forth a strong showing in the T20 World Cup and they will face Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Netherlands in Group D.
