South Africa declare 15 members squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: The Cricket South Africa selectors have done their job, the South Africa team for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 starting next month in Australia and New Zealand has been announced.

AB deVilliers, the marvellous batsman is the captain of the South Africa team for the world cup 2015. The selectors have paid emphasis on player who could potentially become match winners for then in Australia and New Zealand.
South Africa are always considered a top notch team during the build up of every world cup but have had a forgettable record. They play like fireballs in the group stages, topping the tables on most occasions but when it comes to the main stage the knockout’s they have been knocked more often.

This time around as well with batsmen like skipper de Villiers, Hashim Amla and Fav du Plesis in their ranks South Africa are hot favorite’s to push for the title.
Their bowling arsenal too looks charged and sparking with the worlds best fast bowler Dale Steyn accompanied by the tall Morne Morkel, Vernon Philander and Wayne Parnell.
Leg spinner Imran Tahir is the lone spin bowling option in the squad.
While the selectors have also picked Farhaan Behardien and Philander as all-round option in the team.

Suspense and suspicion over Quinton de Kock’s fitness and availability is unclear as he is far from fit at present and is expected to get fit mid way into the preliminary round. In his absence skipper AB will guard the wickets as well.

The South Africa 15 member Squad for the ICC cricket world cup 2015: AB de Villiers (C), Hashim Amla, Kyle Abbott, Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, Vernon Philander, Rilee Rossouw and Dale Steyn
