Maharaj to lead Proteas in ODI series against Netherlands

Johannesburg: Wayne Parnell and Khaya Zondo have made a return to the Proteas ODI set up ahead of the upcoming series against the Netherlands from November 26 to December 1.

It is the first time that visitors play a full international series against the Proteas in South Africa.

Two fixtures will take place at SuperSport Park in Centurion, with the last moving to the Wanderers and forms part of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League, the qualification tournament for the 2023 ICC World Cup.

Keshav Maharaj will lead the squad of 16 while white-ball captain, Temba Bavuma and several other players are rested, following a high workload and back-to-back bubbles on national duty and in various international T20 competitions.

South Africa ODI squad:
Keshav Maharaj (captain), Daryn Dupavillon, Zubayr Hamza, Reeza Hendricks, Sisanda Magala, Janneman Malan, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Dwaine Pretorius, Andile Phehlukwayo, Wayne Parnell, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Kyle Verreynne, Lizaad Williams, Khaya Zondo.

Parnell's last appearance for the national team was against Pakistan in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy in England, while Zondo's was in 2018 against Zimbabwe in Paarl.

Zubayr Hamza and Ryan Rickelton have received maiden call-ups to the ODI squad, following consistently impressive performances in the Cricket South Africa (CSA) domestic scene.

Other returns to the team include Janneman Malan, Kyle Verreynne, Daryn Dupavillon and Sisanda Magala, along with ICC T20 World Cup squad members Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi, Reeza Hendricks, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo and Lizaad Williams.
