Johannesburg, Dec 9 : Fast bowler Ayabonga Khaka along with all-rounders Marizanne Kapp and Nadine de Klerk make a return to South Africa women's ODI squad for the upcoming series against Bangladesh. The trio had missed the recent T20I series against Bangladesh due to a combination of rest and injury, respectively. The ODIs between South Africa and Bangladesh will be taking place in East London, Potchefstroom, and Benoni from December 16-23. There's also a maiden ODI call-up for young Eliz-Mari Marx after making her T20I debut in the tied series against Bangladesh.
