Johannesburg: South Africa have named two uncapped players in allrounder Ryan McLaren and wicketkeeper Heino Kuhn in the different limited-overs squads against Zimbabwe and England at home starting next month. The most significant exclusions in the one-day team following South Africa's failed campaign in the ICC Champions Trophy include Herschelle Gibbs and Makhaya Ntini.
Allrounder Robin Peterson was also dropped, in order to make way for McLaren, who impressed in the Champions League Twenty20 for Eagles. Alviro Petersen, the right-handed opening batsman who has played five ODIs for South Africa, earns a recall to the ODI squad. He has earned his place following an impressive stint with the A side.
The one-day squad covers the two matches against Zimbabwe and the first three against England. McLaren has been included in both the ODI and Twenty20 squads while Kuhn has been named in the Twenty20 team alone, which will take on England in two games.
"It is never easy to leave out senior players, particularly when they are men of the calibre of Herschelle Gibbs and Makhaya Ntini who have given such wonderful service over a long period of time," said Mike Procter, the convener of selectors. "But we also have to keep looking forward and reward those players who are knocking strongly on the door.
A notable inclusion in the Twenty20 squad is the attacking opener Loots Bosman, who last played for South Africa a year ago.
Cricket South Africa has also announced the South Africa A squads for the warm-up 50-over and Twenty20 matches against England. They feature some of the stand-out performers from the Champions League like CJ de Villiers, Rilee Rossouw, Henry Davids and Rory Kleinveldt.
South Africa begin their home season with the two ODIs against Zimbabwe, at Benoni and Centurion on November 8 and 10 respectively.
