Prominent South African athletes, the majority of whom are currently playing in the two-match series against India at home, have contracts to participate in the second season of SA20, the country's franchise-based Twenty20 league that was introduced by CSA and Indian Premier League back in 2018. This season coincides with the tour dates to New Zealand. The board named a depleted squad because players under contract with SA20 franchises are not eligible to be selected for the Tests according to CSA rules.
