EAST LON­DON – In­juries have forced se­lec­tors to call up fast-bowl­ing all-rounder Wayne Par­nell and left-arm spin­ner Tabraiz Sham­si to the South Africa squad for the One-Day In­ter­na­tion­al se­ries against West In­dies start­ing in South Africa on Thurs­day.

All-rounder Wiaan Mul­der, who fea­tured in the re­cent two-Test se­ries, has been ruled out of the three-match se­ries with a grade one left side strain while left-arm spin­ner Ke­shav Ma­haraj suf­fered a rup­tured left Achilles ten­don dur­ing last week’s sec­ond Test in Jo­han­nes­burg.

Sub­se­quent scans showed sig­nif­i­cant dam­age, leav­ing Ma­haraj in dan­ger of be­ing out for up to six months.

Par­nell, a 33-year-old left-armer, has played 72 ODIs, tak­ing 98 wick­ets and scor­ing a sin­gle fifty. His last out­ing was against Eng­land last month.

Sham­si, mean­while, who al­so turned out in the re­cent se­ries against Eng­land, has tak­en 51 wick­ets from 41 ODIs with his wrist spin.

Bats­man Tem­ba Bavu­ma, who was re­cent­ly ap­point­ed cap­tain for the Test se­ries, will again lead the Pro­teas for the ODI se­ries.

West In­dies have not beat­en South Africa in a bi­lat­er­al one-day se­ries in three decades and have lost 19 of their last 20 ODIs against the hosts.

SQUAD – Tem­ba Bavu­ma (cap­tain), Ger­ald Co­et­zee, Quin­ton de Kock, Tony de Zorzi, Bjorn For­tu­in, Sisan­da Ma­g­a­la, Lun­gi Ngi­di, Ryan Rick­el­ton, Wayne Par­nell, Andile Phehluk­wayo, Tabraiz Sham­si, Tris­tan Stubbs, Liza­ad Williams, Rassie van der Dussen.
