ENG vs SA: Keshav Maharaj along with others earn recall to T20I squad, 5 big changes in South African team

Cricket South Africa (CSA) made five changes to their T20I squad for the recent series against Australia, where they lost 2-1. David Miller and Donovan Ferreria have marked their return to the team for the first time since the series against Pakistan in December 2024. Keshav Maharaj got recalled after being ignored for the series against Australia, with Marco Jansen and Williams being included after left thumb and knee injury respectively.

“We were experimenting with the spin-bowling allrounders in our most recent T20I series, and Keshav was always part of our broader plans. His return to the squad strengthens our spin options. Beyond his obvious skill with the ball, he brings calmness and leadership to the group,” coach Shukri said on Maharaj’s return.

The three-match T20I series between South Africa and England is going to begin September 10 at Sophia Gardens, with the next match being on September 12 at Old Trafford and the final match being held on September 14 at Trent Bridge.
