South Africa announced their 15-man squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, with Aiden Markram appointed as the captain for the first time in an ICC event. 

The squad includes notable players like Anrich Nortje and Quinton de Kock, who were recently left out of Cricket South Africa's central contracts. 

Nortje returns after a back injury sidelined him since September 2023, while De Kock retired from ODIs after the 2023 Cricket World Cup. 

Ryan Rickelton and Ottniel Baartman, standout performers in the recent SA20 tournament, earned their spots as uncapped T20I players. 

The squad boasts a strong batting lineup with Markram, De Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, and Tristan Stubbs. Kagiso Rabada and Nortje lead the pace attack supported by Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee, while spin duties fall to Bjorn Fortuin, Keshav Maharaj, and Tabraiz Shamsi.
