Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Tuesday announced an 18-member Twenty20 International squad for the three-match series against Pakistan in Lahore next month.
Wicket-keeper batsman Heinrich Klaasen will be leading the side in the shortest format.
Only four players including all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius, fast bowler Lutho Sipamla, left-arm spin bowlers Tabriaz Shamsi and George Linde from the current 21-man Test squad present in Pakistan are named in the T20I squad and will be travelling to Lahore.
The bulk of the Test squad will return to South Africa after the Pakistan Tests end on February 8 in order to undergo a COVID-19 quarantine period and to prepare for a planned home series against Australia.
