Kallis, Steyn rested for ODI and T20 series vs Australia

Johannesburg: Premier batsman Hashim Amla will make his debut as national team captain both in the T20 and ODI formats when the Proteas start their series against visitors Australia next week.

All-rounder Jacques Kallis and pacer Dale Steyn have been left out of the side. Cricket South Africa`s (CSA) national selectors on Monday named the squads for both formats.

"With the ICC World Twenty20 less than a year away, we need to keep a solid core of experience around the side," commented CSA selection convener Andrew Hudson, "but at the same time we want to give younger players a run as well and this certainly applies in the case of Richard Levi and David Miller."
