South Africa in India, Nov-Dec 1996 - S.African squad




The South African selectors have named the 14 players who did duty in the
recent 4 Nations tournament in Kenya as the squad for the first phase of
South Africa's forthcoming tour to India.

The tour can be divided into two phases: The triangular one day series
against Australia and India and then a sequence of test and first class games.

Several key South African players  - notably Craig Matthews, Paul Adams and
Shaun Pollock - are injured and will not be in fit in time for the one day
games. Convenor of the selectors Peter Pollock has said that there could
well be changes or additions to the squad before the test series starts.

Gary Kirsten has been named as vice-captain in place of the injured Matthews.

A notable omission from the squad is a back up for wicket keeper Dave
Richardson. Apparently the selectors and Richardson himself are happy for
him to play every match. An unnamed keeper is on standby to be flown out to
India (an eight hour flight) if necessary.

Squad:

Hansie Cronje (captain)
Gary Kirsten (vice captain)
Andrew Hudson
Darryl Cullinan
Jonty Rhodes
Herschelle Gibbs
Brian McMillan
Dave Richardson
Derek Crookes
Pat Symcox
Nicky Boje
Lance Klusener
Fanie de Villiers
Alan Donald
