Left-arm swing bowler Lonwabo Tsotsobe has been included in South Africa's squad for the three-Test series in Australia starting in December 17. Left-arm spinner Robin Peterson is the other addition to the 13-man squad named for the home Test series against Bangladesh, and would provide cover for first-choice spinner Paul Harris, who fractured his left thumb during the first Test in Bloemfontein.

Surprising decision is Herschelle Gibbs who not part of the Test team, while Robin Peterson gets a call-up, but an injury has kept Andre Nel out of South Africa's squad to tour Australia.

Squad: Graeme Smith (c), Ashwell Prince (vc), Neil McKenzie, Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher (wk), JP Duminy, Paul Harris, Makhaya Ntini, Morne Morkel, Robin Peterson, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe and Monde Zondeki.
