South Africa Champions won two out of five games last season and were in fifth place. The West Indies Champions made it to the semi-final of the tournament and lost the match. Jacques Kallis led the side in the previous season and has been replaced by AB de Villiers. Hashim Amla, Chris Morris, and Albie Morkel are also a part of the squad.

Top Order: Richard Levi (wk), Dane Vilas, and Hashim Amla

Middle Order: AB de Villiers (c), JP Duminy, and Albie Morkel

Mr 360, AB de Villiers, will lead the side this year. He might be there in the middle order along with JP Duminy and Albie Morkel. Duminy played for the team last season as well. However, Albie Morkel will return to the field after a long gap. He recently served as the Assistant Coach of the Texas Super Kings in the Major League Cricket.

Lower Middle Order: JJ Smuts and Chris Morris
