Kallis out Duminy in for ICC Champions Trophy


All-rounder Jacques Kallis has ruled himself out while JP Duminy returns to South Africa's 15-man squad for the ICC Champions Trophy in England and Wales next month.

Kallis has made himself unavailable for personal reasons while Duminy is back in contention after recovering fully from the ankle injury he suffered in Australia six months ago.

Duminy's return adds balance to the side which, together with the two batting all-rounders Faf du Plessis and Farhaan Behardien, gives the team  the option of playing seven specialist batsmen.
 
Selection Convenor Andrew Hudson says Kallis'  experience will be missed but that it does create an opportunity for David Miller whose showing impressive form at the moment in the IPL.
The sole member of the squad from the Chevrolet Warriors is Colin Ingram.

South Africa squad: AB de Villiers (captain), Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Colin Ingram, Rory
Kleinveldt, Ryan McLaren, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Robin Peterson, Aaron Phangiso, Graeme Smith, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo
Tsotsobe.
