Pretorius was ruled out of the recently concluded ODI series against India as well as the T20 World Cup due to a left thumb fracture.

The 22-year-old Jansen has played only one T20I for the Proteas - against India in Rajkot this year - in which he took one wicket while conceding 38 runs in his four overs.

Right-arm pacer Lizaad Williams has been added as a travelling reserve.
