CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Fast bowler Duanne Olivier has been recalled for South Africa's home test series against India, a reward for excellent domestic form from a player who shot to prominence four years ago before taking up a Kolpak contract.

The 29-year-old has claimed 48 wickets in 10 tests at an average below 20, but his career in the five-day international game looked to be over when he joined Yorkshire in 2019.
