South Africa ODI & T20 Squad For Australia Tour

South Africa have recalled Herschelle Gibbs as well as naming three new players in their 15-man squad for the two Twenty20 internationals and five ODIs in Australia. Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who is already on tour with the Test team, will be joined by his Warriors team-mate Wayne Parnell and Vaughn van Jaarsveld of the Lions, all looking for their international debuts.

Gibbs, who was dropped from the one-day squad to take on Bangladesh at home, after breaking a team curfew, makes his return along with Makhaya Ntini, who was overlooked for the two previous home series against Kenya and Bangladesh in October-November.

Monde Zondeki, Johann Louw and Justin Ontong have failed to make the cut, after disappointing in the two previous home series.

The limited-overs leg of the tour begins with the first Twenty20 international in Melbourne on January 11, and will conclude with the fifth ODI in Perth on January 30.

South Africa ODI and Twenty20 squad: Graeme Smith (c), Johan Botha (vc), Herschelle Gibbs, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher (wk), AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Makhaya Ntini, Wayne Parnell, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Vaughn van Jaarsveld.
