South Africa recalled big guns like Quinton de Kock, David Miller and Temba Bavuma for the three-match ODI series against Australia later this month. Indicating plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup, co-hosted by South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe, the Proteas named Bavuma captain for the three-match series, while also recalling pacer Gerald Coetzee for the first time since the last ODI World Cup. Ace quick Kagiso Rabada remained absent from the 16-man squad as he recovers from a hamstring injury.<h3>South Africa squad for Australia ODIs -</h3>Temba Bavuma (captain), Ottneil Baartman, Corbin Bosch, Matthew Breetzke, Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock, Tony de Zorzi, Bjorn Fortuin, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Maphaka, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs &nbsp;De Kock and Miller, however, have been called up despite not being centrally contracted. Explaining de Kock's inclusion, South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad said ODI remains his best format, while he revealed why Miller will miss the home series against Bangladesh later this year.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/australia-test-squad-south-africa-tour-marnus-labuschagne-retained-1788776862674">Marnus Labuschagne retains place in Australia squad for South Africa Tests; check full team</a> &nbsp;"Quinny (Quinton de Kock) is going to be playing whenever we need him to play. ODI cricket is probably Quinny's best format, and he will play all the ODIs. David will play Australia and probably miss Bangladesh because he has ILT20 commitments,” Shukri Conrad said on Monday (Sep 7). &nbsp;Speaking of the two pacers, Coetzee and Rabada, the head coach noted, "It's great to see Gerald back in the fold and, by all accounts, he's been bowling nice and quickly.” &nbsp;"KG is out of the ODIs, and we are constantly monitoring his rehabilitation. When we sit down to select a Test squad, we will make an informed decision. He is tracking nicely, going on reports from physios,” Conrad said of Rabada’s absence from this marquee home series.<h2>No Dewald Brevis for Australia ODIs</h2>With Miller, Matthew Breetzke and Tristan Stubbs making up the middle order, Dewald Brevis -- the top-scorer in the Namibia T20I series -- has missed out on the cut, and Conrad explains why.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Everybody that is not here or in the A side will be playing the first round of first-class cricket. And everyone not in the ODI squad will play in the second round. That includes Dewald. He competes for a spot in the middle order, and there he competes with Matthew Breetzke, Tristan Stubbs and David Miller. He will definitely get a crack in an ODI in the Bangladesh series,” Conrad said of Brevis’ absence. &nbsp;"We've got six ODIs before we play England. The England squad will be a shadow squad for the World Cup. We've got a few guys vying for space at the top in terms of Aiden, Ricks, Quinny and Tony. It's just about making sure everyone gets a fair crack at it," he continued.

Temba Bavuma returns as captain while Quinton de Kock and David Miller are recalled to South Africa's 16-man ODI squad for the upcoming three-match series against Australia.
