Bavuma, who passed a fitness test on Monday, has fully recovered from a left elbow injury he sustained prior to last month's successful Test tour of Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, all-rounder Marco Jansen and fast bowler Gerald Coetzee return to the Test setup for the first time since January's Test series against India.
