Bavuma will travel back home from India today for family reasons. T20 International captain Aiden Markram will captain the side in Bavuma’s absence.
The Proteas left for the sub-continent on Saturday evening and are currently based in Thiruvananthapuram.
It is still not clear if the skipper will make it back in time for South Africa’s tournament opener against Sri Lanka on 7 October.
After the clash against Sri Lanka, South Africa will then play qualifier Australia before tackling Netherlands.
