ICC Champions Trophy 2017: South Africa (SA) probable playing 11 to face Sri Lanka (SL)

All-rounders

Morris is the quintessential ODI bowler

JP Duminy

Much like Quinton de Kock, his Delhi Daredevils teammate, JP Duminy also missed IPL 2017. While the exact reason for that is still unclear, the 33-year-old is an integral part of the Proteas side as they look to claim their first international title since 1998. Duminy has consistently averaged in the mid 30s over the past few years in ODIs and has proven to be a more than handy off-spinner, who can pick up crucial wickets.

With the top-ranked ODI spinner at their disposal and a varied pace attack, Duminy will add an extra dimension to their bowling line-up.

Chris Morris

If there is one thing that most sides seek but few seldom have, it is a quality all-rounder who can contribute with both the bat and the ball. England have Ben Stokes and the only other side to have a truly world-class all-rounder who has contributed on both fronts is South Africa, who have Chris Morris.

Capable of bowling at the start of the innings, swinging the new ball and at the death with his yorkers and variations, Morris is the quintessential ODI bowler. The fact that he can smash the ball to all corners with the willow and is a more than handy middle-order makes him the side's x-factor.
