<a href="https://www.cricket.com/teams/7/south-africa/form" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">South Africa</a> have added left-arm paceman <a href="https://www.cricket.com/players/69409/marco-jansen/career-stats" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marco Jansen</a> to their 15-man T20 World Cup squad as a replacement for pace-bowling allrounder <a href="https://www.cricket.com/players/42946/dwaine-pretorius/career-stats" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dwaine Pretorius</a>. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.cricket.com/players/57823/lizaad-williams/career-stats" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lizaad Williams</a> has been called up to replace Jansen amongst the travelling reserves.Pretorius, who was the joint-highest wicket-taker for South Africa in the T20 World Cup last year, fractured his left thumb during the third T20I against India in Indore and was subsequently ruled out of the ODI series and the upcoming showpiece event in Australia.&nbsp;Jansen was the one who was added to the ODI squad for the three-match India series but featured in only one match, ending with figures of 0/43 in 5.1 overs. Jansen, who is also a handy batter down the order, has only played one T20I so far.&nbsp;On top of that, he doesn&rsquo;t really have mindblowing numbers in 22 T20s either - 17 wickets at an average of 38.88 and a strike rate of 8.16. However, with the World Cup happening in Australia, the surfaces will assist Jansen who is a tall left-armer and has a high-arm action.Meanwhile, 29-year-old Williams has played all three formats for South Africa and has far better numbers than Jansen in T20s. The right-arm seamer has claimed 72 wickets in 57 T20s at a strike rate of 15.8 and an economy rate of 7.22.The Proteas will play two warm-up games against New Zealand and Bangladesh before starting their 2022 T20 World Cup campaign against one of the qualifying teams on October 24.South Africa squad for T20 WC: Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Wayne Parnell, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Rilee Rossouw, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs.Powered by <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1" title="Froala Editor">Froala Editor</a>

We have enough experience within that squad to provide a good challenge to Pakistan when they arrive on our shores.&ldquo;The T20 squad is also a good indication of our depth as a cricket nation with the loss of some of the senior players to the IPL. We have a massive 18 months of T20 cricket coming up, with two ICC T20 World Cups for players to contest. We as a Selection Panel are looking forward to seeing what the new additions to the team will contribute to the Proteas&rsquo; system.&ldquo;The Betway T20 Challenge created a good headache for us in showing off the many talented cricketers we have in our system. It&rsquo;s a good headache to have and we&rsquo;re confident that we have a squad that can and will ask a lot of questions of our visitors and make the nation proud.&ldquo;To Temba (Bavuma) our new captain, all the best to him and the rest of the teams for the upcoming tour,&rdquo; he concluded.CSA is pleased to announce the teams that will represent the nation as follows:ODI squad: Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Beuran Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Janneman Malan, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Jon-Jon Smuts, &nbsp;Rassie van der Dussen, Junior Dala, Lutho Sipamla, Wiaan Mulder, Sisanda Magala, Kyle Verreynne, Daryn Dupavillon, Lizaad Williams.T20I squad: Temba Bavuma (c), Bjorn Fortuin, Beuran Hendricks, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), George Linde, Rassie van der Dussen, Janneman Malan, Sisanda Magala, Dwaine Pretorius, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lutho Sipamla, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Pite van Biljon, Migael Pretorius, Lizaad Williams, Wihan Lubbe.The squad will assemble in Pretoria on Saturday, 27 March.
