Kagiso Rabada, a premier fast bowler, has taken time off from limited overs contests to prepare for the test matches by playing four-day cricket domestically. For the same reason, Marco Jansen, Lungi Ngidi, and Gerald Coetzee will not participate in the ODIs.
Quinton de Kock, a wicketkeeper-batsman who is still available for T20 matches despite having retired from ODIs at the end of the World Cup, will play for the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League (BBL) rather than T20 series.
