Gibbs makes a comeback
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 Wayne Parnell and Vaughn van Jaarsveld, 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.
At the age of 34, Gibbs's international future had been in doubt prior to this recall. Monde Zondeki, Johann Louw and Justin Ontong have failed to make the cut.
ODI & T20 SQUAD
Graeme Smith (captain), Johan Botha (vice-captain), Hashim Amla, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Herschelle Gibbs, Jacques Kallis, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Makhaya Ntini, Wayne Parnell, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Vaughn van Jaarsveld.
