HARARE (Reuters) - Mark Vermeulen took a step closer to an unlikely test return after a decade on the sidelines when Zimbabwe named him in a 15-man squad for the one-off test against neighbours South Africa which starts in Harare on Saturday.

Zimbabwe, playing their first test since beating Pakistan in Harare last September, also named the uncapped bowling pair of John Nyumbu and Cuthbert Musoko in the squad, released by Zimbabwe Cricket on Friday.
