 
JACQUES KALLIS and Mark Boucher have both recovered from injury and will be available to the Chevrolet Warriors for the Standard Bank Domestic Pro20 Final to be played against the bizhub Highveld Lions at Axxess DSL St. George’s on Friday evening.
Boucher suffered a back spasm that ruled him out of the second Test match against India last month as well as part of the ODI series while Kallis suffered a hamstring strain while batting in the final ODI.
The pair have played nearly 600 ODIs between them and will be a significant boost to what is already a very powerful Warriors squad.
Warriors coach Russell Domingo will be left with the pleasant problem of working out who to leave out of a squad that has swept all before them in limited overs cricket this season.
Kallis displayed stunning form for the Warriors in both their successful MTN semi-final and final and will be keen to help his new franchise put more silverware on the shelf.
The other Proteas who were injured during the Indian tour are also recovering well. JP Duminy (split webbing) and Graeme Smith (fractured finger) are still a full week away from returning to action in the Indian Premier League and may well have to sit out their franchises’ opening fixtures.
Albie Morkel (ankle ligament) has made a full recovery but Roelof van der Merwe (hamstring) still has some way to go.
