Season veteren: Allrounder Wayne Parnell

Western Province ace Wayne Parnell was called up to the Proteas ODI squad on Monday for their three-match ODI series against the West Indies.

Allrounder Parnell and spin bowler Tabraiz Shamsi were added to the squad as replacements for injured duo Wiaan Mulder (side strain) and Keshav Maharaj (ruptured Achilles tendon).

Originally only set to join the squad for the third and final ODI in Johannesburg, Parnell, 33, will now be available for the start of the series at Buffalo Park on Thursday.

A statement released by the Proteas reads: “Wiaan Mulder has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against West Indies due to a left side strain.

“The 25-year-old experienced discomfort during the second Test at the Wanderers Stadium and subsequent scans revealed a grade one side strain. “Allrounder Wayne Parnell has been named as Mulder’s replacement.

“Tabraiz Shamsi has also been added to the squad for the injured Keshav Maharaj.”
