Afghanistan vs South Africa ODI series 2024: Squads, schedule, venues, timings, live streaming details and all you need to know

Afghanistan vs South Africa ODI series 2024 will begin on September 18 in Sharjah.

Afghanistan and South Africa are set to play their first-ever bilateral ODI series. Before this, both nations have faced each other only in the ICC ODI World Cups.

The three-match ODI series between the two nations will be played from September 18 to September 22 in Sharjah.

This series is crucial for both Afghanistan and South Africa as they start their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is scheduled to be played early next year.

The Afghanistan squad marked the return of their star leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who is set to play his first ODI match since the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 in India. However, they will miss the services of Mujeeb ur Rahman, Ibrahim Zadran, and Noor Ahmad, who are ruled out due to injuries.

On the other hand, South Africa have named a new-looking squad for the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan. Temba Bavuma will lead the side. Speedster Lungi Ngidi, who suffered a calf injury during the West Indies tour, makes his much-awaited return to the Proteas lineup.
