Herschelle Gibbs has been passed fit and has been included in South Africa's one-day squad to face New Zealand.

Gibbs received the all-clear on Monday after two months out due to a knee injury. He went straight into the squad for Friday's Pro20 match at Johannesburg and the first three of five ODIs that follow.

The South African selectors made only one change to the one-day squad that trounced West Indies 5-0 earlier this year, leaving out Justin Ontong. Albie Morkel, the Titans allrounder, has been drafted in for the Pro20 match but will not figure in the ODIs.

South Africa squad Graeme Smith (capt), Nicky Boje, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, Boeta Dippenaar, Herschelle Gibbs, Andrew Hall, Jacques Kallis (vice-capt), Justin Kemp, Charl Langeveldt, Albie Morkel (Pro20 only), Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini, Shaun Pollock, Ashwell Prince.
