South African fast bowlers Anrich Nortje and Sisanda Magala have been ruled out of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 beginning next month.
The 2020 T20 World Cup is slated to take place from October 18 to November 15 across various venues in Australia.
South Africa are currently leading the four-match Test series against England after their crushing 107-run win in the opening match at SuperSport Park in Centurion.
Kohli now has 2,441 runs from 66 innings to Rohit's 2,434 from 89 innings.
Chasing a modest 150 for victory, Kohli smashed an unbeaten 72 from 52 deliveries, his innings studded with four fours and three sixes as India won with an over to spare.
The former South African all-rounder believes that the jam-packed stadium in India during any cricket match is also a major challenge for South Africa when they lock horns with the Men in Blue.
For South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis, this setback has forced the team think-tank to change their combinations but he is confident with the talent in the squad.
The 31-year-old's view contrasts that of team's coach Trevor Bayliss who advocates turning down the microphones to protect players.
Sarfaraz also dismissed reports that his teammates were unhappy with his behaviour and that the players gelled more under stand-in skipper Shoaib Malik in South Africa.
Mani said that they made public apologies and dealt with the matter openly but since the ICC “could not get the two players involved in a room together”, they charged Sarfaraz and banned him.
Akram, who is also on the PCB's cricket committee, was clear that Sarfraz should remain the captain of the national team.
Sarfraz will now miss the remaining two matches of the ongoing ODI series as well as the first two matches of the T20I series to follow against South Africa.
Sarfaraz had earlier issued a apology on Wednesday, insisting that his comments were not directed at anyone in particular. But on Thursday he met Phehlukwayo.
Akhtar said that Sarfraz's conduct was totally unacceptable.
South Africa, who have now levelled the five-match series 1-1, will now head into the fourth ODI against Pakistan on January 25 at SuperSport Park.
Allrounder Andile Phehlukwayo on Monday said South African batsmen will go into the fifth ODI as a more confident unit, having learnt from their mistakes against the Indian spinners.
The sides meet in the second and final Twenty20 international in Potchefstroom on Sunday with Bangladesh hoping to end a streak in which they lost two Tests and three one-day internationals before Thursday's match.
South Africa made 174 for eight with JJ Smuts contributing 45 and skipper AB de Villiers striking 46 from 30 balls.
Buttler remained unbeaten on 65 off 53 balls, which included seven fours, to help England post a huge total of 330 for 6 in fifty overs.
The 26-year-old Maharaj has had an impressive debut season for the Test squad, and comes into the squad to bolster the spin options alongside Imran Tahir.
