New Delhi [India], Feb 8: Mr 360 degree aka AB de Villiers has returned to South Africa's squad for the last three one-day internationals against India, but his availability for the fourth match at the Wanderers on Saturday (February 10) is yet to be determined.

AB De Villiers missed the first three games of the six-match series due to a finger injury, and South Africa were soundly beaten in all three games during his absence. While his return to the squad was confirmed after the selectors met in Johannesburg on Thursday, a spokesperson said that the batsman will still need to be assessed when the squad gathers at the Wanderers on the eve of the Pink ODI.

Should de Villiers be passed fit, he would provide a much-needed confidence boost to a batting unit that has had no answer to the twin spin threat of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. The pair have taken 21 wickets in the series at a scarcely believable average of 9.05 against South Africa.

South Africa squad for last three ODIs: Aiden Markram (c), Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Imran Tahir, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Chris Morris, Lungisani Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Khayelihle Zondo, Farhaan Behardien.
