ODI World Cup: Fast bowling duo of Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi have made a return to South Africa's ODI squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy, starting on February 19. South Africa are in Group B of the Champions Trophy alongside Afghanistan, Australia and England.

The duo’s return to the Proteas ODI squad comes after they missed the entire home international season with injuries. While Nortje has made a full recovery from a left toe injury, Ngidi is back to action after recovering from a groin injury.

South Africa’s 15-man squad will be led by Temba Bavuma and includes ten players who were part of the squad that qualified for the semi-finals of the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup in India. Tony de Zorzi, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, and Wiaan Mulder have been selected for their first senior 50-over ICC tournament.
