.De Villiers returns for last three ODIs !!!

De Villiers has been added to South Africa's ODI squad for the remaining three matches against India, but a call on his availability for the pink match on Saturday at the Wanderers. AB De Villiers missed  three matches with a finger injury.

At that stage, de Villiers was the only big name with a niggle but South Africa have since lost two others, and all three matches. Du Plessis and de Kock were ruled out of the ODIs and T20s with a broken finger and wrist injury respectively. In du Plessis' absence, Markram was named captain and Heinrich Klaasen replaced de Kock behind the stumps. Though AB de Villiers has both led and kept wicket in the past, he will not do either this time and will instead just boost the batting.

South Africa have been ravaged by India's wristspinners, who have taken 21 of the 27 wickets the Indian bowlers have taken so far. AB De Villiers is one of South Africa's best players of spin and Duminy described the prospect of his return as a "massive boost."

If AB de Villiers plays, he is likely to slot in at No. 3 or 4 which will push JP Duminy down the order and allow South Africa to dispense with one of David Miller or Khaya Zondo. Both could miss out if  Behardien, who was added to the squad when Fuf du Plessis was injured, is included in the starting XI.

South Africa must win at the Wanderers to keep the series alive. The match will be played in pink, as a part of a campaign for breast cancer awareness, and South Africa have never lost in that colour. Ab De Villiers has performed particularly well in pink, and scored the fastest hundred in ODI history at the Wanderers against West Indies three years ago.
