ENGLAND has unveiled its latest South African-born recruit, seam bowler Jade Dernbach, to boost its chances of beating Sri Lanka in the quarterfinal on Saturday.
Dernbach, born and raised in South Africa until he was 14, has been called up to replace bowler Ajmal Shahzad, who returned home with an hamstring injury.
Dernbach was playing for England's second-string squad in the Caribbean when he was called up last week. The Surrey bowler follows Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott and Craig Kieswetter as South Africans who have adopted England. But Dernbach says, "I owe nothing to South Africa. I learned my cricket in England."
