The South African National selectors have shown faith in the squad that did duty against Sri Lanka by naming an unchanged 15 for the first two Standard Bank One-Day Internationals starting in Durban on Sunday 8 November.

The selection of Monde Zondeki, who took a wicket with the first ball he bowled in an ODI, will give the South African coaching staff additional time to work with young pace bowler's run-up and action.

With the top order still causing some concerns, places for the final World Cup 15 are up for grabs. Now is the time for players like Graeme Smith, Boeta Dippenaar and Neil Mckenzie to put their hands and grasp their ticket to their dreams.

Pakistan, with a fearsome pace attack, is going to put the South African batsmen to the test and will create far more pressure than what they have had in the past two series. Those that withstand this pressure will find themselves lining up in Cape Town come February 8th.

The full squad is:

Shaun Pollock - Captain, Mark Boucher - Vice-Captain, Boeta Dippenaar, Nicky Boje, Allan Donald, Herschelle Gibbs, Andrew Hall, Jacques Kallis, Lance Klusener, Neil McKenzie, Makhaya Ntini, Robin Peterson, Jonty Rhodes, Graeme Smith, Monde Zondeki.
