Lungi Ngidi, Khaya Zondo called into South Africa ODI squad for India series

JOHANNESBURG — Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has been called into South Africa's one-day international squad for next month's series against India after a successful test debut.

Ngidi and batsman Khaya Zondo were the two uncapped players included for the first three games of a six-match series.

The 21-year-old Ngidi made his Twenty20 debut a year ago and took six wickets in his first two games. He was sidelined with injury before a test debut against India last week. He took seven wickets in that match.

Middle-order batsman Zondo has been on the fringes of the national team and toured India in 2015 without playing a game.

Fast bowler Morne Morkel and allrounder Chris Morris returned to the squad and Tabraiz Shamsi was selected as the second spinner behind Imran Tahir.
