South Africa have taken a wait and see approach to their one-day series against India by retaining their ICC Champions Trophy squad for the first match of the rubber.Selection convenor Haroon Lorgat told Reuters on Wednesday that his panel had left the squad intact for the first game, in Johannesburg on Nov. 19, in anticipation of good performances from other players in imminent matches.
