Fast bowler Anrich Nortje was named in South Africa’s XI for Tuesday’s first T20I against India in Cuttack.
This is Nortje’s first fixture for South Africa since June 2024.
Batsman David Miller was also named in the XI. Prior to Tuesday’s recall, Miller had not played a T20I since December 2024.
“It’s just great to be back. It’s been great watching the guys back at home even though I always feel I want to be there, but the guys have been doing so well, and it’s been lovely to watch,” said Miller.
“It’s been an interesting couple of months for me, just being at home and reflecting on a few things was really cool. I moved into a different space by trying out different things with my body and tapping into a few different training regimes.
“It was actually a really good time away. I enjoyed it. You’ve got to take the positives from what’s negative so it was really good. I’m feeling strong. I’m feeling fit and I’m feeling ready to go.”
