S Africa recall Duminy for NZ series

JOHANNESBURG  - South Africa handed a test recall to batsman JP Duminy and dropped Ashwell Prince for next month's tour to New Zealand, Cricket South Africa announced on Wednesday.
Duminy played the last of his 12 tests against India in February 2010 and is the only change to the 15-man squad that beat Sri Lanka 2-1 in a recently-completed test series. The Proteas also recalled all-rounder Justin Ontong to their ODI and T20 squad. The 32-year-old's last international appearance came in an ODI in July 2008.
"He is the complete limited overs package, being a fine batsman who will strengthen our fielding disciplines and also give us another bowling option. We have decided to try out some exciting new options in the T20 squad such as Levi, Ontong and De Lange.
Test squad - Hashim Amla, Mark Boucher, Marchant de Lange, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Imran Tahir, Jacques Kallis, Morne Morkel, Alviro Petersen, Robin Peterson, Vernon Philander, Jacques Rudolph, Graeme Smith (capt), Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
