(Reuters) – South Africa have added all-rounder Corbin Bosch to their 15-player squad for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates as a replacement for injured fast bowler Anrich Nortje.
Bosch, 30, made his national team debut this season and played his only One-Day International in a 36-run defeat to Pakistan in Johannesburg in December.
He will also feature in the ongoing Tri-Nations tournament with hosts Pakistan and New Zealand, but will only be available for the team’s second game against the home side on Wednesday.
South Africa will take 18-year-old fast bowler Kwena Maphaka to the Champions Trophy as a travelling reserve, meaning they can bring him into the squad in the event of injury.
The team has appointed former Pakistan international all-rounder Yasir Arafat as a consultant for the tournament.
South Africa Champions Trophy squad:
Temba Bavuma (captain), Corbin Bosch, Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs and Rassie van der Dussen.
