The squad includes many familiar faces, with little change from the one that played against India and Sri Lanka earlier this year.
“The team capped the WTC cycle with a strong series win in Sri Lanka, following an impressive summer where we defeated India for the first time in a decade,” said chief selector George Bailey, as quoted by cricket.com.au.
He added, “These consistent performances over the two-year cycle have earned us an exciting chance to defend our WTC title. Reaching the final means a great deal to this group, and they are eager for the challenge South Africa will bring.”

Konstas had been left out of the squad for the Sri Lanka tour and was sent home early. He had been playing domestic cricket for New South Wales and had previously caught attention with a lively debut against India in Melbourne, though he struggled to keep up that form.
Green, meanwhile, makes his return after recovering from a back injury that required surgery last year.
