Royal Challengers Bangalore Spinner Tabraiz Shamsi in South Africa's ODI Squad

South Africa have named Tabraiz Shamsi in their ODI squad for the triangular series in the Caribbean next month against hosts, the West Indies, and Australia.

Shamsi is currently assisting Indian Premier League team Royal Challengers Bangalore. He came as a replacement for injured West Indian leg-spinner Samuel Badree.

The Unlimited Titans 26-year-old left-arm wrist spinner will become the 116th player to represent the Proteas in the 50 overs format if he gains selection into the starting XI.

"We have opted for three specialist spinners as we anticipate the pitches in the Caribbean to be on the slow side," commented CSA selection committee convener, Linda Zondi.

"Tabraiz has certainly earned his call-up following outstanding form both in our domestic cricket and in some of the major domestic T20 leagues including the Caribbean Premier League.

"He has shown what he can do in the T20 leagues against international batsmen. I am quite excited about the state of our spin bowling and the variety we have," Zondi said.

South Africa are sending two wrist spinners to the Caribbean plus left-arm and right-arm finger spin options.

Parnell back in SA ODI squad, Du Plessis improving

Wayne Parnell returned to the Proteas ODI squad for the first time since last year's ICC World Cup in Australasia. Faf du Plessis has been included in the squad despite the current injury to his finger, and is expected to return to action for the Proteas' second match of the triangular series.

Proteas team manager, Dr Mohammed Moosajee explained: "Faf sustained a broken left ring finger during the IPL two weeks ago and had fixation surgery to repair the bone tip this Tuesday in Cape Town.

"The surgery was a success and we are expecting a period of between four to five weeks for a full recovery. At this stage we are targeting for him to return to action for our second ODI against Australia on June 7."
