(Reuters) -South Africa will be without injured captain Temba Bavuma for their tests in Pakistan next month, but Quinton de Kock will come out of One-Day International retirement to play in both white-ball series on the all-formats tour.
South Africa begin the defence of their World Test Championship title with a two-test series in Pakistan, starting in Lahore on October 12, but must do so without influential batter Bavuma, who has a calf strain.
