Pollock recalled by South Africa
Pitch conditions in Johannesburg should offer more help to Pollock
South Africa's leading wicket-taker Shaun Pollock has been recalled for the first Test against New Zealand in Johannesburg next Thursday.
The 34-year-old was dropped for the first time in his 107-Test career for the recent series win in Pakistan.
Captain Graeme Smith said it was a decision to give younger bowlers exposure to difficult conditions.
But Pollock, who has taken 416 Test scalps, has been added for a 12-man squad for the Wanderers clash.
South Africa squad: Herschelle Gibbs, Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, Ashwell Prince, AB de Villiers, Mark Boucher, Andre Nel, Paul Harris, Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini, Shaun Pollock.
