Langeveldt bolsters Proteas options

Charl Langeveldt made his international return from a spell as a Kolpak player in the one-day series against England

South Africa have added seamer Charl Langeveldt to their squad for the one-day series against India.

The Proteas are scheduled to play three one-day internationals after the conclusion of the current two-Test series on the sub-continent.

Cricket South Africa president Gerald Majola said: “We have decided to add Langeveldt as an additional player to the squad announced earlier.

“We do not believe that we have all our bases covered at the moment in the bowling department.

“We have two major ICC tournaments coming up. First the ICC World Twenty20 in the West Indies and then next year’s ICC World Cup on the sub-continent and it is important that we explore all our options.

“Charl also brings much-needed experience to our attack.”

South Africa ODI squad: Graeme Smith (capt), Loots Bosman, Johan Botha, Mark Boucher (wkt), AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Herschelle Gibbs, Jacques Kallis, Charl Langeveldt, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Alviro Petersen, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Roelof van der Merwe.
