Indian-origin player in SA squad for 3rd Test against Australia
Rookie batsman Imraan Khan joined Hashim Amla as the second Indian-origin player in the South African cricket team which will be without regular skipper Graeme Smith in the third and final Test against Australia starting March 19 in Cape Town.
Imraan, who plays for the KwaZulu-Natal provincial team, and pacer Wayne Parnell are the two new faces in the squad.
Imraan and Parnell replace Neil McKenzie and Morne Morkel, who have been dropped from the squad.
South African vice-captain Ashwell Prince, who was dropped for the first two Tests because of injury, replaces Smith, who is nursing an injured right hand.
CSA Selection Convenor Mike Proctor made the announcement soon after South Africa was trounced by Australia in the second Test in Durban, giving the visiting side 2-0 lead.
Proctor said Imraan deserved to be selected in the squad.
