Proteas Squads Named for Last-two Tests and ODIs

Cape Town: Cricket South Africa (CSA) named an unchanged Castle Lager Proteas squad for the remaining two Sunfoil Series Test matches against England as well as a 14-man squad for the five-match Momentum ODI Series.

“We were highly encouraged by the performance put up by the Proteas at PPC Newlands,” commented CSA selection convener, Linda Zondi. “The very fact that they were nearly able to force a win after conceding 600 runs on the first innings speaks volumes for the character of this group of players.

“We feel we have all our bases covered and also the options that will enable the team to exploit whatever conditions they encounter at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium and at SuperSport Park.”

With the ODI squad reduced from 15 to 14 Aaron Phangiso drops out from the squad that won their most recent series in India.

Rilee Rossouw, an original selection against India but forced to withdraw through injury, is fit to take his place again.

Test squad: AB de Villiers (captain), Kyle Abbott, Hashim Amla, Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock (wk), JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Dean Elgar, Morne Morkel, Chris Morris, Dane Piedt, Kagiso Rabada, Rilee Rossouw, Dale Steyn, Stiaan van Zyl, Hardus Viljoen.
