Temba Bavuma will lead the South African team in the Champions Trophy 2025. The Proteas have been excellent in the Test format with no match lost so far in red-ball cricket. South Africa will be aiming to win their second CT title, as the Proteas have only won this ICC trophy ever.

A solid top-order batter, Bavuma made his debut in 2014 and became captain in 2021. Under his leadership, South Africa won a long-awaited Test series in Bangladesh in 2024 and reached the semifinal of the 2023 ODI World Cup.
