SA Name Pakistan Squad
Tuesday, September 16 2003
South Africa have named a rather predictable touring squad to Pakistan, with the seam bowling support battery for the English tour the main casualties.
The disappointing trio Dewald Pretorius, Charl Willoughby and Monde Zondeki are the pace bowlers who failed to escape the selectors axe.
They have been replaced in the squad by medium pacers Alan Dawson and Charl Langeveldt, while Andre Nel has also earns a recall following his impressive NatWest Series in England.
The most disappointing omission is that of Pretorius, whom the South African selectors have shown much faith in yet he bowled poorly in England.
As expected, reserve keepers Thami Tsolekile and Morne van Wyk are surplus to requirements for the tour.
Gary Kirsten, who recently announced his intention to play on, has been selected.
The full squad is:
