 In Boucher's absence AB de Villiers will keep wicket |
Mark Boucher has been left out by South Africa for three one-dayers in Zimbabwe a day after criticising Jacques Kallis' omission from the World Twenty20 squad. Keeper Boucher and all-rounder Justin Kemp, who is getting married, are the only players in that line-up missing.
Coach Mickey Arthur said: "Mark and I agreed that with the strenuous season ahead we need to ease his workload."
The first match will take place in Bulawayo on 22 August, with the other two in Harare on 25 and 26 August.
Paceman Dale Steyn is the one man not in the Twenty20 squad to be named in the touring party.
Arthur added: "Dale will bolster our bowling attack with an eye on the Pakistan tour after the Twenty20.
"He also did not get much bowling in during the recent tour to Ireland because of illness."
South Africa squad: Graeme Smith (capt), Gulam Bodi, Loots Bosman, AB de Villiers (wkt), JP Duminy, Herschelle Gibbs, Albie Morkel, Morn� Morkel, Makhaya Ntini, Vernon Philander, Shaun Pollock, Dale Steyn, Thandi Tshabalala, Johan van der Wath.
