Yeah I can rationalize the Zondo selection. Especially considering he just scored a double ton but he is probably not going to get a Test call up. Parnell being back is surprising. But he is competing with Hulk and Lucky. Still think Mulder should be our go to allrounder irrespective of format.

Wayne Parnell lol. Blast from the past!
Not a bad cricketer by any means but that is certainly left field

I've already accepted that I'm not going to be happy with some of their batting picks.

I think the most likely is Duanne Olivier, if we have injury in the bowling lineup. Harmer as a very outside chance for subcontinent. The rest would be some of the younger batsman (like Bedingham) who left but who have now been forced to return. But they will probably have to prove themselves for a season or two.

There was an article on Cricinfo which suggested that Rossouw and Olivier are the most likely to make a return. It was by Firdose Moonda, so make of that what you will, but it would make sense for it to be those two.
An argument in favour of Harmer would be that he's a right armer while all the other spinners are left armers. So that might come into play when playing more than one spinner in the subcontinent, but for now he would be behind Maharaj and Linde in the pecking order.

I agree on Olivier. Who is our third seamer in Tests? Rabada and Nortje are locks. Then you have Ngidi,Sipamla and Stuurman knocking about. I think it's a possibility.
Rossouw in T20 cricket won't be the worst selection imo. I don't know if he has lost a step but I always rated his LO batting.
With Piedt out of the equation now it's really between Subrayen and Harmer as quality offspinners in the domestic setup. Subrayen has some action issues and he is more suited to LO stuff as well. Linde is someone I really like as a cricketer so I think he has earned the right to be Maharaj's deputy.

Thinking about it a bit more, Olivier's not in the South Africa A squad, so possibly the seamers currently playing have got the edge over him. Maybe Dupavillon as well, and given the way that the selectors often think, I wouldn't rule out Parnell making a comeback...
