An all-round performance in the second Twenty20 match against Australia has earned rookie Roelof van der Merwe a berth in the South Africa squad for first two matches of the upcoming one-day series against Ricky Ponting's men from April 3-17.

The 24-year-old all-rounder top scored for the Proteas, making a brisk 48 off 30 balls, then swiftly ran out Callum Ferguson and then claimed the key wicket of David Hussey in a superb display which helped the hosts clinch the Twenty20 series 2-0.
