BOETA Dippenaar will take the place of disgraced opener Herschelle Gibbs in the Proteas squad to tour Sri Lanka. Dippenaar was on Monday named as replacement for Gibbs who was dropped from the side after he admitted to accepting an offer for $15000 from his former skipper Hansie Cronje to play badly in a one-day international in India. Gibbs said that he never received the money because he forgot about the deal, but he will still face disciplinary action by the United Cricket Board. Dippenaar has represented South Africa in two Tests against Zimbabwe last year — replacing Gibbs and fellow opener Gary Kirsten who were injured at the time. Meanwhile, a replacement for Dippenaar to tour the West Indies with the SA ‘A’ side in August and September has yet to be named.
