Rampaul played for West Indies in the One-Day International (ODI) series against India in October before the tour was called off due to contractual diputes between the players and the board. Stalwart Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who last played an ODI in 2011, has also not been picked. Spin wizard Sunil Narine, who was reported for a suspect action during the Champions League T20 and Darren Bravo, who opted out of the South Africa citing personal reasons, have however been included in the provisional squad.
The uncapped players picked in the squad include legspinner Imran Khan, offspinner Ashley Nurse, fast bowlers Marquino Mindley and Kenroy Peters, opener Evin Lewis and allrounder Jonathan Carter.
West Indies tour South Africa ahead of the World Cup and are scheduled to play three Tests, two T20Is and five ODIs against the Proteas, starting December 17.
Squad: Dwayne Bravo, Darren Sammy, Marlon Samuels, Chris Galye, Dwayne Smith, Darren Bravo, Sulieman Benn, Carlos Brathwaite, Jonathan Carter, Sheldon Cottrell, Miguel Cummins, Narsingh Deonarine, Andre Fletcher, Jason Holder, Imran Khan, Leon Johnson, Evin Lewis, Nikita Miller, Marquino Mindley, Sunil Narine, Ashley Nurse, Kenroy Peters, Versammy Permaul, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell, Lendl Simmons, Devon Smith, Jerome Taylor
