JP Duminy has been recalled to South Africa’s Test squad for next month’s tour of New Zealand, while all-rounder Justin Ontong has been selected for both the one-day international and Twenty20 series.

Cricket South Africa today announced squads for all three formats for next month’s trip, which sees the Proteas and the Black Caps go head to head in three Tests, three ODIs and three T20 matches.

The inclusion of Duminy, who has not featured in a Test since February 2010, at the expense of Ashwell Prince is the only change to the 15-man group which sealed a 2-1 series success over Sri Lanka earlier this month.

Ontong, meanwhile, has been rewarded for his fine domestic form by being picked for both shorter formats. His last international selection was for the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, but he did not get any game time in England.

The 32-year-old’s Cape Cobras team-mate Richard Levi has been chosen as Hashim Amla’s opening partner for the T20 matches, for which Jacques Kallis and Dale Steyn have been rested.

Test captain Graeme Smith has also been left out of the T20 party, while Rory Kleinveldt and Dean Elgar remain on the sidelines due to injury.

CSA selection convener Andrew Hudson said: “Ontong fully deserves this latest call-up. He has shown outstanding domestic form this season and I believe he has developed into a more mature cricketer. His finishing ability was a key factor in the Cobras’ success in winning the One-Day Cup.

“He is the complete limited-overs package, being a fine batsman who will strengthen our fielding disciplines and also give us another bowling option.

“We have decided to try out some exciting new options in the T20 squad such as Levi, Ontong and [Marchant] de Lange. There are only 11 matches left in this format before we travel to Sri Lanka for the ICC World Twenty20 and this is really the last chance to explore the talent we have at our disposal.

“Having AB de Villiers fit again for T20 action also gives us a lot more flexibility and better balance.”
