New Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane has announced the 22-man squad to play Ghana at Soccer City in an international friendly.
Bafana take on the Black Stars on 11 August and it promises to be an entertaining match with the West Africans bringing most of the players that helped the team reach the World Cup quarterfinals.
"The squad I have selected will reflect my vision. The core of the team from the World Cup remains. I'm not making a lot of changes because I have only been in this job for 22 days and no games have been played yet," Mosimane says.
"I expect lots of commitment from these players to show that they are ready to play for South Africa," 'Jingles' adds.
Mosimane, though, says the squad reflects his vision. However, he is coy during questioning as to why there are a few old men in the squad and no specific youngsters.
The squad:
Goalkeepers - Itumeleng Khune and Moeneeb Josephs.
Defenders - Siboniso Gaxa, Morgan Gould, Bevan Fransman, Tsepo Masilela, Aaron Mokoena, Anele Ngcongca, Siyabonga Sangweni and Innocent Mdledle.
Midfielders - Siphiwe Tshabalala, Daine Klate, Teko Modise, Kagisho Dikgacoi, Thanduyise Khuboni, Reneilwe Letsholonyane, Steven Pienaar, MacBeth Sibaya and Surprise Moriri.
Strikers - Katlego Mphela, Sthembiso Ngcobo and Bernard Parker.
