Quinton de Kock ruled out of the series according to Graeme Smith–
Wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock is unlikely to feature in the remaining three games after suffering a hand injury. Former CSA chief Graeme Smith said that the injury was serious and it is unlikely that he will be risked ahead of the England tour.
The change came as a double blow as he is also the opener and wicketkeeper.
To accommodate both positions Reeza Hendricks came in as an opener while Heinrich Klaasen also was promoted to as wicketkeeper.

Hendricks and Klaasen to keep their places:
- Heinrich Klaasen played a blistering 81-run knock in the 2nd T20I as De Kock’s replacement.
- His knock has done enough to earn some credit and keep his place.
- Quinton de Kock was in brilliant form in the IPL 2022, finishing with 508 runs in 15 matches for Lucknow Super Giants.
- Opener Hendricks might have failed, but giving one opportunity will be an unfair thing.
- Hence, the Proteas have kept the same combination.
- In the bowling department, Anirch Nortje has regained his form after injury while Kagiso Rabada has continued to star in the bowling department.
- Two spinners Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi also have done well picking up crucial wickets.

Strong bench if needed for SA-
- The Proteas have a strong bench if needed as they can call the services of Lungi Ngidi, Marco Jansen and Tristan Stubbs.
- Aiden Markram tested positive for Covid-19 and was in self-isolation but can be available if he tests negative.
- The strong bench could be another plus point as they won the second T20I with two changes from the bench.
- The management will have a good problem to have ahead of the third T20I which could serve as the series clincher.
South African T20 Squad: Temba Bavuma (Captain), Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Wayne Parnell, Dwayne Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Tabariz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs, Rasi van der Dussen, Marco Janssen.
