Prominent strikers who have not featured thus far in the World Cup preparations of South African national football team Bafana Bafana were on Friday named in a provisional squad of 29 players for the June-July tournament in South Africa.
They are Bernard Parker, Bafana Bafana's star from last year's FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, and Benni McCarthy, South Africa's all-time leading international goal-scorer. Parker plays for FC Twente club in Holland, while McCarthy turns out for West Ham United in England.
