South Africa named batsman Colin Ingram in their squad on Tuesday for the limited-overs series against Zimbabwe and Pakistan next month.
The 25-year-old Ingram has shone for Eastern Cape Warriors in domestic one-day competitions to earn his first taste of international cricket.
Slow left-arm spinner Robin Peterson was recalled but there was no place in the 15-man squad for opening batsman Herschelle Gibbs, left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe or experienced wicketkeeper Mark Boucher
Boucher was named in the test squad to play Pakistan, along with left-arm pace bowler Wayne Parnell who returns from injury in place of all-rounder Ryan McLaren.
"The next ICC World Twenty20 is 18 months away and this also provides us the opportunity to look at several younger players," convenor of selectors Andrew Hudson said in a statement.
"We only have a relatively small number of ODIs before the World Cup and it is our intention to go in with our strongest combination in all these matches."
South Africa host Zimbabwe for two T20 matches and three one-day internationals between Oct. 8-22 and then play Pakistan in a T20 game, five one-dayers and two tests in the United Arab Emirates from Oct. 27-Nov. 24.
