Boucher will lead a 14-man squad for the August 14-29 event, replacing Ashwell Prince who is captain for the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka in place of the injured Graeme Smith.

Left-handed Prince, the first black cricketer to lead South Africa, remains part of the one-day squad, convenor of selectors Haroon Lorgat said.

South Africa will be without four one-day regulars: Smith, all-rounder Jacques Kallis, batsman Justin Kemp and seamer Charl Langeveldt.
