JOHANNESBURG: Corbin Bosch will replace fellow fast bowler Anrich Nortje in South Africa`s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan, Cricket South Africa announced on Sunday.

Bosch, who made his One-day International and Test debuts against Pakistan in December, will depart for Karachi on Sunday to join the squad for a triangular series against Pakistan and New Zealand ahead of the Champions trophy, which starts on Feb 19.

Nortje was named in the squad last month but was withdrawn a day later because of a back injury.

Nortje`s likely replacement, Gerald Coetzee, was on Wednesday named, then withdrawn from the tri-series squad after feeling tightness in his groin during a pre-departure net practice.

Teenage fast bowler Kwena Maphaka will join the squad for the tri-series and be a travelling reserve for the Champions Trophy.

Cricket South Africa also announced that former Pakistan all-rounder Yasir Arafat had joined the support staff as a consultant for both tournaments in Pakistan.

Revised South African squad: Temba Bavuma (captin), Corbin Bosch, Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen (wicket-keeper), Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton (wkt), Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs, Rassie van der Dussen.-AFP
