Corbin Bosch made his ODI debut in December 2024.
South Africa have called up right-arm pacer Corbin Bosch to replace the injured Anrich Nortje in their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad.
Nortje was South Africa’s top wicket-taker in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, picking up 15 wickets in nine games during their run to the final.
However, he has struggled with frequent injuries and has missed a lot of cricket in 2023 and 2024. A stress fracture in his back has now ruled him out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is set to begin on February 19.

The statement read, “Momentum Multiply Titans fast bowler Corbin Bosch has been named in the 15-member squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan later this month.“
“The 30-year-old, who made his One-Day International (ODI) debut against Pakistan in December, replaces the injured Anrich Nortje. DP World Lions fast bowler Kwena Maphaka has also been added to the squad as a travelling reserve.“
The board confirmed that Bosch, Maphaka, and top-order batsman Tony de Zorzi will leave for Karachi on Sunday to join the squad for the ongoing tri-series.
“Bosch and Maphaka, along with Proteas batter Tony de Zorzi, depart for Karachi on Sunday to join the squad for the remainder of the tri-nation ODI series.“
