England in selection problems

M P, Johunnnburg
England face several selection problems ahead >f the first l\venty20 international against South \irica at the Wanderers Stadium on Friday.
Hiere are injury concerns about no fewer Ihan four of the touring team's bowlers, while a poor batting performance in a warm-up game against South Africa A raised doubts about the batsmen earmarked for the 20-oversdash
Star batsman Kevin Pietersen joined up with the squad on Wednesday after recovering from heel surgery and there may be a temptation to rush him into action, although it was expected originally that be would only be considered for the five-match one-day international series which starts on Friday week.
I here may also be a discussion about tour captain Andrew Strauss, the team's most impressive batsman on tour so far, after the team slumped to 89 all out in his absence on the way to a four-wicket defeat against South Africa A in Bloemfontein on Wednesday.
Strauss, who hit 72 against the Eagles and 117 not out against the Warriors in 50-overs matches, is not due to play in the shortest form of die game.
Collingwood also said it was unlikely Pietersen would be rushed into an early return to action ahead of a 50-overs match against South Africa A in Potchefstroom onTtiesday.
Fast bowler Stuart Broad is unlikely to play in the I\venty20 games because of a shoulder injury but England are hoping that fellow bowlers Graham Onions (back), James Anderson (knee) and Graeme Swann (thigh) will be fit for
selection.
England will be up against a South African team that played impressively in beating Zimbabwe by 212 runs in the second and final one day international in Centurion onTuesday
South African captain Graeme Smjlh said he expected England to be strong opponents. "We know that there's a stiffer challenge in the summer and our focus now turns to that,* he said.
The teams meet In two !Wenty20 matches, with the second in Centurion on Sunday, followed by five one-day internationals and four Test matches.
Smith said he did not read much into 1 ingland's defeat onTuesday.
"It's fantastic that the South Africa A side has played well and beaten England but we know from touring that it's the real international matches that really count," he said.
South Africa have named a squad of 15 for the two matches and selection convenor Mike Procter said the aim was to give every player a start. But left-arm fast bowler Wayne Parnell is struggling with an ankle injury and may be rested until the one-day series.
