Chittagong, Bangladesh: South Africa will look to their fringe players to deliver the goods against an unpredictable Bangladesh in the one-day International series beginning here on Sunday.
The South Africans have rested key players Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher and Makhaya Ntini for the three one-dayers, while including untried batsman Hamish Amla and spinner Paul Harris in the squad.
With the series also being the first for the Proteas since all-rounder Shaun Pollock quit international cricket, a lot of players are suddenly finding themselves under the spotlight.
Bangladesh, still reeling from the 2-0 thumping in the preceding Test series, may not be the best test for their strength, but the visitors know that they cannot afford to treat them as pushovers.
Squads: Bangladesh (from): Mohammad Ashraful (capt.), Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Tamim Iqbal, Junaid Siddique, Nazim Uddin, Shahriar Nafees, Shakib Al Hasan, Dhiman Ghosh, Abdur Razzak, Shahadat Hossain, Mosharraf Hossain Rubel, Syed Rasel, Farhad Reza, Roqibul Hassan.
South Africa (from): Graeme Smith (captain), Hashim Amla, Johan Botha, A.B. de Villiers, J.P. Duminy, Herschelle Gibbs, Paul Harris, Charl Langveldt, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Andre Nel, Alviro Peterson, Dale Steyn.
