UTV | COLOMBO – AB de Villiers and Dale Steyn have returned to South Africa’s Test squad for the inaugural 4-day, day-night Test against Zimbabwe, which starts on Boxing Day in Port Elizabeth.
De Villiers last played a Test in January 2016, while Steyn has not played international cricket after suffering a shoulder injury in Perth last year.
The duo was joined in the squad by Morne Morkel, who has recovered from a side strain that has sidelined him since late October, and Vernon Philander, who is fully fit after a back problem sustained in England.
Captain Faf du Plessis, who is in the final stages of recovery from a shoulder operation, has also been named.
