Cricket South Africa have granted AB de Villiers paternity leave and rested fast bowler Dayle Steyn for the one-day and series against Bangladesh. Steyn will also not play the Twenty20 series.

Cricket South Africa have named four uncapped players - batsman Reeza Hendricks, wicketkeeper Dane Vilas, left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso and Under-19 fast bowler Kagiso Rabada - in the Test squad. All four players have been capped by South Africa in limited-overs formats but are yet to play a Test, reports the cricinfo web site quoting Andrew Hudson, convener of selectors.

The Test squad is as follows: Hashim Amla (capt), Dean Elgar, Reeza Hendricks, Faf du Plessis, Stiaan van Zyl, JP Duminy, Quinton de Kock, Vernon Philander, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Aaron Phangiso, Simon Harmer, Temba Bavuma, Kagiso Rabada, Dane Vilas
