The 32-year old made only two appearances in the tournament owing to the brilliant performance by the foreign contingent of the franchise that devoid him of valuable opportunities.
The South African side is scheduled to play 3 One Day Internationals along with two practice matches. The warm-up games will be played on the 19th and 21st of May while the series starts on 24th May.
The Protean side also features AB de Villiers and David Miller who will leave their respective franchises in coming days on their international duty. Rising Pune Supergiants still have to play two more group games in the IPL and would be looking to win both to stay second in the IPL standings.
