Hashim Amla, an important player for South Africa in the ODIs whose form had taken a dive, which had raised doubts of his place in the 15-member World Cup team announcement. However, he was picked, and will be given a chance to make a lasting impression before he steps down from the big stage. Amla has earned the trust of the national selectors.

In the 2015 World Cup, Amla made a career-best 159 against Ireland at Canberra after South Africa opted to bat first. The opener wasn't dismissed until the 42nd over and was a threat of scoring a double hundred.

South Africa utility all-rounder, JP Duminy, after nursing an injury for few months on the sidelines, had announced his decision of stepping away from the ODI format after the World Cup in England. His World Cup numbers, unlike his ODI stats, are pretty impressive and it shows his ability to shine in crunch situations.
