Temba Bavuma, South Africa's captain, has been ruled out of the first Test against Bangladesh, set to be played at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka. Cricket South Africa on Friday stated that Bavuma has suffered a left tricep muscle strain.

Bavuma will, however, travel with the squad to Dhaka on Tuesday and continue his recovery under the supervision of the medical team in preparation for the second Test. Aiden Markram will lead the side in his absence. Dewald Brevis has earned his maiden call-up to the Test side as Bavuma's replacement.

Meanwhile, Lungi Ngidi has been named as a replacement for Nandre Burger, who will miss the Bangladesh tour due to a lumbar stress fracture. Burger will commence his rehabilitation with the medical teams of CSA and Western Province.

The squad will convene for a red-ball camp at the Centre of Excellence in Pretoria from October 12 to 14 for the two-match Test series scheduled to begin on October 21.
