Herschelle Gibbs has been recalled as cover for injured allrounder Jacques Kallis for the remainder of South Africa\'s limited-overs international series against England.
Kallis is expected to be sidelined for a month with a rib injury, discovered after a scan at the weekend.
Kallis missed the seven-wicket loss to England at Centurion yesterday, which put the hosts behind 1-0 in the five-match One Day International series.
The first match of the series was washed out by rain in Johannesburg last Friday.
It is not certain whether 35-year-old Gibbs, with 21 One Day International centuries, will play in the next match in Cape Town on Friday as the least experienced batsmen in the Proteas\' top five, Alviro Petersen and Hashim Amla, both scored half centuries yesterday.
