Rilee Rossouw and Mthokozisi Shezi have been selected to make their ODI debuts, and will be the 112th and 113th caps for South Africa respectively.
 
Rossouw and Shezi are part of three changes to the Proteas' XI, with Marchant de Lange making a long awaited return to International cricket following a string of injuries.
