Cricket South Africa named their squad for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022, which will be held in Australia, on Tuesday. Rassie van der Dussen is still recovering from a finger injury, and the South African management has decided not to include him in the T20 World Cup squad. Temba Bavuma, on the other hand, has fully recovered from his elbow injury and is ready to lead the Proteas to a second World Cup in a row.
South Africa's T20 World Cup hopes were recently dashed when one of their batting mainstays, Rassie van der Dussen, was ruled out due to a finger injury. However, they have a talented team with plenty of replacements. Temba Bavuma's return to the South African T20 World Cup squad should also provide some solace.

Temba Bavuma returns to lead the side for the second T20 World Cup in a row, having recovered fully from an elbow injury sustained during the June tour of India.
Rassie van der Dussen, who missed the flight to Australia due to a finger injury that required surgery, was the squad's most notable omission. While replacing their mainstay would be difficult, the Proteas would be hoping for enough firepower to compensate for his absence.
