Johanasburg: Batsman Hashim Amla and fast bowler Dale Steyn are back in South Africa's Twenty20 squad for a two-match series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates next month.
Amla took a year-long break from the shortest format of the game, while Steyn was nursing various injuries.
South Africa selector Andrew Hudson says, “Hashim is a world-class player across all the formats. His experience and stability at the top of the order are qualities that we believe will strengthen the squad in a key area.”
He adds, “It is great to have Dale back as it means we now have all our senior players available again.”
Amla and Steyn are already members of the test and one-day international squads. The two-test series starts on Monday, the five one-dayers on Oct. 30, and the Twenty20s are on Nov. 13 and 15.
