The 33-year-old missed the first three matches of the series with a finger injury and a decision on whether he will play in the pink match at the Wanderers will be made after Friday’s practice.

South Africa have lost the first three games of the six-match series so far and will be without both Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock because of a broken finger and wrist injury respectively. In their absence, Aiden Markram has captained the side while Heinrich Klaasen has kept wicket.

It is likely that he will slot into the side at number three or four, pushing Duminy down the order with either David Miller or Khaya Zondo likely to miss out.

After winning the Test series 2-1, the Proteas have lost all three ODI fixtures so far and must therefore win the final three matches to draw the series, starting with the fourth ODI this Saturday.
