Momentum Multiply Titans fast bowler Corbin Bosch has been named in the 15-member squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan later this month.

The 30-year-old, who made his One-Day International (ODI) debut against Pakistan in December, replaces the injured Anrich Nortje. DP World Lions fast bowler Kwena Maphaka has also been added to the squad as a travelling reserve.

Bosch and Maphaka, along with Proteas batter Tony de Zorzi, depart for Karachi on Sunday to join the squad for the remainder of the tri-nation ODI series.

Former Pakistan all-rounder Yasir Arafat has joined the support staff as a consultant for both the tri-nation series and the Champions Trophy.
