Gerald Coetzee and six uncapped players included as South Africa announced their 12-member squad for the first match of the upcoming ODI Tri-Series in Pakistan, scheduled from February 8 to 14.

Coetzee had recovered after he missed the SA20 due to an hamstring injury, but the pacer soon suffered another setback ruling him out of the Tri-Series and the Champions Trophy, which is set to begin on February 19.

Batters Matthew Bretzkee, Meeka-eel Prince, pacers Eathan Bosch, Gideon Peters, all-rounder Mihlali Mpongwana and spinner Senuran Muthusamy have all been handed their first call ups to the ODI side with several others set to join the squad post the SA20 2025.

South Africa head coach Rob Walter had announced a 12-member squad for their first match against New Zealand, scheduled to take place on February 10 in Lahore with more players to be added after the SA20 eliminator between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings.

The ODI squad will be captained by Temba Bavuma and also include the likes of Kyle Verreynne, Junior Dala, Jason Smith and Wiaan Mulder. Here is a look at South Africa's squad for the first match of the tri-series in Pakistan, also featuring New Zealand:
