Spinner Nicky Boje will lead a South African team featuring two changes in the third and final one-day international against Zimbabwe in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday.
South Africa [ Images ], who won the first two games by large margins, said their regular captain Graeme Smith [ Images ] would miss the final match to have treatment on a persistent ankle injury. He will be replaced by opener AB de Villiers [ Images ].
Boje will become the seventh man to captain South Africa in one-day internationals.
All-rounder Andrew Hall [ Images ] has been dropped and fast bowler Monde Zondeki brought in, despite having played no limited-overs cricket for the Eastern Cape Warriors this season.
