JOHANNESBURG: Injured Dale Steyn has found his name in the list as South Africa has announced its T20World Cup squad.
Steyn’sinclusion is subject to fitness as he has not played since suffering a shoulder injury in the first Test against England in December.
What was at first thought to be a minor injury was later diagnosed as a bone stress reaction likely to keep him out of action until shortly before the tournament.
The South African squad includes 10 of the players who helped them reach the semi-finals of the 2014 World Twenty20 in Bangladesh.
A notable exclusion is fast bowler Morne Morkel, although Morkel has only played in one Twenty20 international since then.
South Africa s 15-man squad: Faf du Plessis (captain), Kyle Abbott, Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock (wkt), AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Imran Tahir, David Miller, Chris Morris, Aaron Phangiso, Kagiso Rabada, Rilee Rossouw, Dale Steyn, David Wiese.
