JOHANNESBURG (Reuters)
A second bout of flu has prolonged Allan Donald's stay on the sidelines of international cricket. The South Africa fast bowler has been left out of the squad for the remaining one-day internationals against Zimbabwe in Harare on September 29 and 30.

"Allan has had a second bout of flu and as a result has had no time to put in any training," Rushdi Magiet, the convenor of national selectors, said on Monday. "The medical advice is that he should rest for about three to four weeks and we expect him to be fully match fit after that."

Donald is expected to be fit in time for the first match of the triangular series against India on October 5, a tournament which also features Kenya.

South Africa squad: Shaun Pollock (captain), Mark Boucher, Boeta Dippenaar, Herschelle Gibbs, Claude Henderson, Jacques Kallis, Justin Kemp, Gary Kirsten, Lance Klusener, Neil McKenzie, Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini, Justin Ontong, Jonty Rhodes.
