OWN CORRESPONDENT, Johannesburg | Wednesday 10.00AM.
SOUTH Africa will return to Headingley to face a Counties Select XI in a limited-overs warm-up match ahead of Friday’s opening triangular shoot-out against Sri Lanka at Trent Bridge.
The South Africans will be fielding a near international strength side, with only Allan Donald not making the line-up. His place is taken by super-quick youngster Mornantau Hayward.
The English selectors have chosen a side that gives them a lot of room for experimentation, and only three of the 11, Nick Knight, Ally Brown and Ashley Giles, are likely to start the triangular series.
Teams:
South Africa: Gary Kirsten, Mike Rindel, Jacques Kallis, Daryll Cullinan, Hansie Cronje (c), Jonty Rhodes, Shaun Pollock, Pat Symcox, Mark Boucher, Steve Elworthy, Nantie Hayward.
Counties select XI: Matthew Maynard (c), Mark Alleyne, Ally Brown, Martin Bicknell, Ed Giddins, Ashley Giles, Paul Grayson, Ben Hollioake, Ronni Irani, Nick Knight, Keith Piper.
