Nortje returns in Markram-led South Africa T20 World Cup squad

Anrich Nortje will make an international comeback after a nine-month absence at the 2024 T20 World Cup. Nortje, who has been in action at the IPL, has been named in South Africa’s 15-player squad that will be led by Aiden Markram. Opening batter Ryan Rickelton and seamer Ottniel Baartman – both standout performers at this year’s SA20 – have also earned call-ups and are set to earn their first T20I caps.Travelling reserves: Nandre Burger and Lungi Ngidi
