Durban, Nov 25: All-rounder Lance Klusener is back in favour to captain a South African invitation XI in a friendly opening match against the West Indies who will tour here from early next month.

Klusener was dropped from the national side for England and Pakistan tours after poor performance in the World Cup and verbal confrontations with captain Graeme Smith early this year.
The move appeared to be an attempt to rehabilitate the discarded cricketer, who has scored prolifically in domestic cricket this summer, and has bowled with something approaching his old form.
The 45-over match will be played on December 03 in Johannesburg.
The West Indians, who are currently in Zimbabwe, will play a series of five one-day internationals and four Test matches in December and January.
Klusener will be one among five former internationals who will play against the West Indians in the opening invitation match.
The others are wicketkeeper-batsman Morne Van Wyk, seamer Victor Mpitsang, batsman Ashwell Prince and left-arm seamer Charl Willoughby.
