Patrick Kruger and Wiaan Mulder, in the squad for this series, are also in the frame for the all-rounder position.
Marco Jansen wasn’t considered because he is in the midst of a “conditioning block” as part of workload management, while leg-spinner Nqaba Peter, who made his debut against the West Indies in a short series before the T20 World Cup, is undergoing rehab for a shoulder niggle.
“This tour allows us to continue developing our player pool while maintaining the core of experienced players. It will also expose our emerging talent to quality international opposition, similar to the last time we played against the West Indies in May,” Walter said.
South Africa T20I squad: Aiden Markram (capt), Ottneil Baartman, Nandre Burger, Donovan Ferreira, Bjorn Fortuin, Reeza Hendricks, Patrick Kruger, Kwena Maphaka, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Ryan Rickelton, Jason Smith, Tristan Stubbs, Rassie van der Dussen, Lizaad Williams.
