Klusener and Hayward for Sri Lanka tour DURBAN, Wednesday, (Reuters) - South Africa included all rounder Lance Klusener in a test squad for the first time in three years on Wednesday. Klusener, 32, who played his last test against Australia in Melbourne in 2001, was named in a squad of 14 selected for South Africa's tour to Sri Lanka from July to September. South Africa will play two tests and five one-day internationals. "Klusener's experience and previous success in the sub-continent will be invaluable, he also brings great variety with the ball which will be critical on the pitches in Sri Lanka," said selection convenor Omar Henry. Klusener has played 48 tests, scoring 1,904 runs at an average of 33.40 with four centuries. He plundered 281 runs in eight innings at the 1999 World Cup in England, but his game deteriorated from then and he fell out of favour before and after the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. Squads: Test - Graeme Smith (captain), Nicky Boje, Mark Boucher, Boeta Dippenaar, Herschelle Gibbs, Mornantau Hayward, Jacques Kallis, Lance Klusener, Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini, Robin Peterson, Shaun Pollock, Jacques Rudolph, Martin van Jaarsveld. One-day - Smith (captain), Boje, Boucher, Alan Dawson, Dippenaar, JP Duminy, Gibbs, Hayward, Kallis, Klusener, Nel, Ntini, Peterson, Pollock, Rudolph, van Jaarsveld.
