South Africa Recall Albie Morkel for World T20

Cape Town: South Africa recalled hard-hitting all-rounder Albie Morkel on Monday in their squad for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh starting next month.

The 32-year-old, older brother of fast bowler Morne Morkel, last played in the 20-over format for the Proteas at the previous World Twenty20 held in Sri Lanka in 2012.

South Africa have also included uncapped left-arm seamer Beuran Hendricks in their squad.

The Cape Cobras player set a record for the most wickets during the domestic Twenty20 competition concluded earlier this month with 28 from 11 matches at an economy rate of just over seven.

It is this form that also recently earned him a contract with King's XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The same squad, captained by Faf du Plessis, will be fielded for the three-match Twenty20 series against Australia starting on Mar 9.

South Africa T20 squad: Faf du Plessis (Captain), Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock (wk), AB de Villiers (wk), JP Duminy, Beuran Hendricks, Imran Tahir, David Miller, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
