After clinching a comfortable 2-0 Test series win over the West Indies, the Proteas will head into ODI action on Saturday after the first game was washed out in East London.

It effectively represents the start of a new era for the South African team under the leadership of new coach Rob Walter, while there are four uncapped players who have been named in the squad.
