28-year-old Aiden Markram will take over as the T20I skipper from Temba Bavuma, who had stepped down from the role last month.

Markram, who led the South Africa U19 team to a title win at the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup in 2014, also recently tasted a title win as skipper at the SA 20 with Sunrisers Eastern Cape.

Director of Cricket Enoch Nkwe congratulated Marrkam on his appointment.

"I would like to congratulate Aiden on his appointment as captain of the Proteas T20I team," Nkwe said.

"Leadership is extremely familiar to him having successfully led on so many levels. He is a player that inspires confidence and he has all the qualities to succeed in the role. We have no doubt will help take South Africa to the next level.

"At the same time, we would like to thank Temba for filling the position so aptly over the past two years. He has done a commendable job during this period and now has a new role to fulfil within the national set-up.”

Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada have been rested from the ODI squad which has four new players in it. Gerald Coetzee, who recently made his Test debut, Ryan Rickelton, Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs, who is yet to play ODIs, make an entry to the squad.

Meanwhile, Bjorn Fortuin, the left-arm spinner, and Sisanda Magala were also named in the ODI squad. The squad for the first two ODIs have several notable names missing, but they return for the third ODI.

"This is a squad that is high on confidence after beating one of the best white-ball teams in the world, England, in their most recent series," head coach Rob Walter said.

"We have introduced a few new faces to the 50-over squad. I am personally excited to see how the likes of Tony de Zorzi gets on in the ODI team, the same with Gerald Coetzee, following debuts for both of them during the ongoing Test series.

"Both are players that have the potential to play a huge role in the future of the national team along with Tristan Stubbs, who has already made such a significant mark in the T20I arena.

"I am also excited to have Aiden take the reigns as T20I captain as he is very familiar to the setup and works well with those around him. He is a player that leads from the front and we have no doubt he will take this team to the next level in the years ahead."
