Former Proteas cricketers Vernon Philander and Andrew Puttick have been included in the South Africa Legends squad for this month’s Road Safety World Series in India.
Puttick was in the squad for the 2021 Road Safety World Series.
He is among several retentions from last year’s squad. These include captain Jonty Rhodes, wicketkeeper-batsman Morne van Wyk and all-rounder Zander de Bruyn.
Philander, batsman Jacques Rudolph, all-rounder Lance Klusener and others have been named in the squad for the first time.
