South Africa are expected to name a full-strength squad for the three-match ODI series against India starting in June, with all players with county commitments set to be released for national duty. South Africa will also play a one-off match against Ireland at Belfast on June 24.”The matches against India are official ODIs,” Gerald Majola, Cricket South Africa’s chief executive, told . “So the team will be at full strength and those players taking part in the County Championship will be expected to return to duty.”The series is part of India’s off-shore commitments in neutral venues, for which the Board of Control for Cricket in India sold the telecast rights last year to a sports channel to broadcast a minimum of 25 matches between April 2006 and March 2011. The Ireland tour will be South Africa’s first international series since the World Cup, though a few players will represent a combined African XI for the Afro-Asia Cup to be held in India early June.The three-match series will be held on June 26, 29 and July 1.
