Ngidi, Shamsi fit for ODIs against Eng

South Africa seamer Lungi Ngidi, spinner Tabraiz Shamsi and all-rounder Jon-Jon Smuts are back in contention for the one-day international series against England, which begins on February 4.

All three players have passed their fitness tests at CSA’s strength and conditioning camp. Sisanda Magala, who was also at the camp and named in the ODI squad, has not yet met the fitness requirements and will continue to work with fitness trainer Tumi Masekela, targeting the three-match Twenty20 International series that takes place after the ODIs.

“I’m proud of the work that’s been achieved by the four players who have been in our high-performance camp for the last three weeks,” said Graeme Smith, the Cricket South Africa interim Director of Cricket.

“I’m pleased that Lungi, Tabraiz and Jon-Jon have been declared fully fit to join the ODI squad and I’m confident that Sisanda will be in that circle soon enough.”
