Temba Bavuma, the captain of South Africa's cricket team, has been sidelined for the upcoming two-test series against Zimbabwe. This development follows a hamstring injury Bavuma sustained in the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord's.

In Bavuma's absence, Keshav Maharaj will take over the captaincy duties, with the team deciding not to bring in a replacement player. The series will start with the first test on June 28 at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, followed by the second test from July 6 to 10.

The revised South African squad includes players such as David Bedingham, Matthew Breetzke, and Dewald Brevis, among others. The team will look to demonstrate resilience and teamwork with the leadership of Maharaj in Bavuma's absence.
