JOHANNESBURG, (Reuters) – Herschelle Gibbs has been  recalled to the South Africa squad for the remainder of the  one-day series against England.

The top-order batsman will replace all-rounder Jacques  Kallis who has been ruled out due to a fractured rib, Cricket  South Africa said in a statement yesterday.

Gibbs, 35, who has scored 8060 runs in his 245 ODIs, last  played a limited overs match for his country when he turned out  against England during the Champions Trophy in September this  year.

England lead the five-match series 1-0 after beating the  hosts by seven wickets in Centurion on Sunday. The first game of the series was abandoned because of rain. The third match is in Cape Town on Friday.
