(Reuters) - Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers have been recalled to South Africa's one-day international side for the visit of New Zealand later this month, but young wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock has been axed after a poor run of form in Bangladesh.

New Zealand will play three ODI matches against the Proteas between Aug. 19-26, after the sides face off in two Twenty20 internationals. Steyn and fellow seamer Vernon Philander return to one-day duty after missing the series in Bangladesh.
