The Proteas have named their squad for the two One-Day Internationals against the Netherlands that gets underway on Friday.
The Knights fast bowler, Gerald Coetzee, is out for the two important games.
The team does however see the return of the seamers Anrich Nortjé and Kagiso Rabada who were rested in the ODI series against the West Indies.
The first ODI will be played at Willowmoore Park in Benoni on Friday, while on Sunday, they will battle it out at the Wanderers in what is also a Pink Day game.
