 "Cricket World Cup: SA skipper Bavuma returns home due to personal reasons")
South Africa suffered a setback on Thursday with their ODI skipper Temba Bavuma returning home from India due to personal reasons ahead of the side's two warm-up games of the ICC Cricket World Cup.
The Proteas are scheduled to take on Afghanistan and New Zealand in their first and second warm-up games on here September 29 and October 2 respectively.
As per an update on South Africa cricket's social media handles, Bavuma has returned to South Africa due to personal reasons.
