Parnell, Stubbs, Rossouw in Proteas T20 World Cup squad; Bavuma to lead

Temba Bavuma has recovered from an elbow injury and will lead the T20 Proteas team at the World Cup in Australia from October 24.

There is no place in the 15-man squad for the injured Rassie van der Dussen, who has a broken finger. He requires surgery and will be out of action for six weeks.

Rookie batter Tristan Stubbs has cracked the squad and so, too, veteran big-hitter Rilee Rossouw.

Wayne Parnell has also been included in the squad, while Dwaine Pretorius is the other all-rounder.

Andile Phehlukwayo misses out, but will travel with the squad as a reserve. The two other reserves are Bjorn Fortuin and Marco Jansen.
