Gibbs back for the Proteas

JASON HUMPHRIES DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA - Nov 24 2009 08:27


Herschelle Gibbs has been recalled to the South Africa squad for the remainder of the one-day series against England.

The top-order batsman will replace all-rounder Jacques Kallis who has been ruled out due to a fractured rib, Cricket South Africa said in a statement on Monday.

Gibbs, 35, who has scored 8060 runs in his 245 ODIs, last played a limited overs match for his country when he turned out against England during the Champions Trophy in September this year.

England lead the five-match series 1-0 after beating the hosts by seven wickets in Centurion on Sunday. The first game of the series was abandoned because of rain. The third match is in Cape Town on Friday. -- Reuters
