Parnell poised for Proteas bow

Wayne Parnell comes into the side to make his debut

Wayne Parnell will make his South Africa debut tomorrow after being named in the side for the second Twenty20 international against Australia in Brisbane.

The 19-year-old left-handed all-rounder will take the place of Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who made his debut in the first T20 clash at the MCG.

In two other changes to the side from the game in Melbourne, Hashim Amla takes the place of Jacques Kallis and Morne Morkel replaces Makhaya Ntini.

"It was always our plan to give every player in the squad at least one match," explained coach Mickey Arthur.

"We will certainly need to continue rotating the bowlers at the least in the ODIs.

"There is a lot of cricket coming up when we get home for the return series against Australia and we must take the anticipated workload of the bowlers into account and make sure that they are fresh and ready to go."

AB de Villiers, who suffered severe bruising of the thigh in yesterday’s match, has been included in the side, but physiotherapist Shane Jabaar indicated that he might be required to undergo a fitness test.
