All-rounder Chris Morris has been drafted into South Africa's 15-man World Cup squad following a hand injury to fast bowler Anrich Nortje.
Nortje is facing six to eight weeks on the sidelines, ruling him out of the global 50-over competition in England and Wales this summer, after fracturing his thumb during net practice.
Morris earned the last of his 34 one-day international caps in February last year but his ability to star with both ball and bat has seen him called up as Nortje's replacement.
Cricket South Africa national selection panel convener Linda Zondi said: "Chris has always been in our plans and is our next best option with the ball.
"He has the pace and death-bowling skills which will be vital in the UK, and also gives us that depth as a deadly finisher with the bat.
"Admittedly, the injuries ahead of the tournament have been frustrating but I continue to have confidence that the players we have selected will make the country proud."
