The South Africans have named an interesting squad for the only Twenty20 match between India and South Africa that will mark Makhaya Ntini's farewell and commemoration for Sachin Tendulkar for the Krish Mackerdhuj Trophy marking 150 years of Indians in South Africa.

Makhaya Ntini will play his farewell match even as the South Africans have decided to felicitate the run blaster in international cricket, Sachin Tendulkar coinciding with the celebrations marking the immigration of Indians to South Africans.
The Twenty20 match is expected to be an extravaganza as it marked the only one in the format for the India South Africa series. Makhaya Ntini has been named in the South African Twenty20 squad that also sees Hashim Amla make the cut for only the third time in the format, his prolific run season not going unnoticed and earning him another opportunity in the shortest format at the international level.
South Africa have, however, decided to rest some of their regular players in Jacques Kallis, Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn citing heavy workload through the year with the rest imperative ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
South Africa's Twenty20 squad for India:
Johan Botha (Chevrolet Warriors, capt), Hashim Amla (Nashua Dolphins), AB de Villiers (Nashua Titans), JP Duminy (Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras), Colin Ingram (Chevrolet Warriors), David Miller (Nashua Dolphins), Makhaya Ntini (Chevrolet Warriors), Wayne Parnell (Chevrolet Warriors), Robin Peterson (Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras), Graeme Smith (Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras), Rusty Theron (Chevrolet Warriors), Lonwabo Tsotsobe (Chevrolet Warriors).
