CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa have added seamer Duanne Olivier and bowling all-rounder Chris Morris to their squad for the final two tests against Australia, but appear to have closed the door on a return for paceman Dale Steyn.

Olivier, Morris, uncapped Wiaan Mulder and Morne Morkel will all be considered to replace suspended fast bowler Kagiso Rabada, who has been named, for the third test starting at Newlands on Thursday.
