Fast bowler Dale Steyn has been named in a 16-man South African squad for three one-day internationals (ODI) against Zimbabwe, starting on September 30.

The 35 year old has been plagued by injuries in recent years and has not played ODI since October 2016.

However, he recently stated his determination to finish his white-ball career by playing in the 2019 cricket world cup in England.

Steyn made a comeback to international cricket after shoulder and foot injuries when he played in two tests in Sri Lanka in July but he only took two wickets at a cost of 89.50 runs each.

He has subsequently shown a return to form during a stint with English county Hampshire, taking 20 wickets in five first-class matches at an average of 19.10.

Christian Jonker, who made 49 in a promising debut in the third and final t20 international against India in February, is the only newcomer in the one-day squad.

Batsman David miller and wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock have been rested for the one-day series but will play in a three-match t20 series.
