South Africa's ODI squad against Pakistan

South Africa have announced their ODI squad for the three-match series against Pakistan, starting on November 24.


Greatest all-rounder of all time, Jacques Kallis has made a comeback to ODI squad. His last ODI appearance was against New Zealand in February 2012.

Cricket South Africa selection convener Andrew Hudson said, "The return of Kallis means that Faf du Plessis has to drop out, it is very welcome news to have Jacques back as our premium allrounder. "
"Graeme Smith also returns to the squad after making a complete recovery from his injury. We have dropped Robbie Peterson out of the squad as Imran Tahir is in outstanding form and we are unlikely to use more than one specialist spinner in a home series. He will be able to gain valuable time in the middle playing in the Sunfoil Series."

ODI Squad: AB de Villiers (captain), Hashim Amla, Imran Tahir, Jacques Kallis, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, Ryan McLaren, Wayne Parnell, Vernon Philander, Graeme Smith, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
