Pretoria (South Africa), Nov 23 (AP) Herschelle Gibbs has been recalled as cover for injured all-rounder Jacques Kallis for the remainder of South Africa's limited-overs international series against England.
Kallis is expected to be sidelined for a month with a rib injury, discovered after a scan at the weekend. Kallis missed the seven-wicket loss to England at Centurion yesterday, which put the hosts behind 1-0 in the five-match ODI series.
It is not certain whether 35-year-old Gibbs, with 21 ODI centuries from 245 appearances, will play in the next match in Cape Town on Friday as the least experienced batsmen in the Proteas' top five, Alviro Petersen and Hashim Amla, both scored half centuries yesterday.
Gibbs, who scored a record six 6s in one over against Netherlands at the 2007 World Cup, was initially overlooked for this serie
