Australia vs South Africa ODI Series 2025: New Squad, Venue, Timings and More

The cricketing rivalry between Australia and South Africa takes a fresh turn as both sides lock horns in the BKT Tyres ODI Series 2025, a three-match affair marking a significant phase of transition. With the 2027 ODI World Cup just two years away, this series is more than just a bilateral tour, it’s a critical testing ground for emerging talent and team dynamics.

There’s plenty of hype around this series. For South Africa, it’s the return of captain Temba Bavuma, backed by veterans like Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj, and excitement surrounding young stars such as Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, and teenage sensation Kwena Maphaka, who’s been rewarded with an ODI debut after impressing in the T20Is.

Australia too has seen a shake-up. With Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell retiring from the format, and injuries ruling out Matt Short and Spencer Johnson, the squad welcomes debutants Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, and Matthew Kuhnemann. Add the return of big names like Mitchell Marsh, Josh Hazlewood, and Cameron Green, and it’s clear this series is part of a larger strategic rebuild.

The stage is set at Queensland’s scenic venues, Cazalys Stadium in Cairns and the newly renovated Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay. Expect competitive cricket, debut brilliance, and a preview of both nations’ future ODI blueprints.
