Hashim Amla will make his first appearance as national team captain, both in T20 and ODIs, when South Africa starts their series next to Australia next week.
All-rounder Jacques Kallis and pacer Dale Steyn have been left out of the side. Cricket South Africa's national selectors on Monday name the squads for both formats.
"With the ICC World Twenty20 less than a year away, we need to keep a solid core of knowledge around the side," commented CSA collection convener, Andrew Hudson. He added: "But at the same time, we want to give younger players a run as well and this surely applies in the case of Richard Levi and David Miller."
Richard Levi of the Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras is the only new cap (in the T20 format) while David Miller of the Sunfoil Dolphins and Mark Boucher of the Cobras have been recall.
Heino Kuhn of the Nashua Titans will stay wicket in the T20 format.
The addition of Boucher and Miller at the cost of Morne van Wyk of the Chevrolet Knights, Colin Ingram of the Chevrolet Warriors and the upset AB de Villiers of the Nashua Titans are the change to the ODI squad that did duty at the 2011 edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup.
"We don't have a lot of T20 International matches previous to the ICC event so it is significant that we provide the likes of Levi, Miller and Colin Ingram an extended run.
Heino Kuhn also get an chance as a result of AB de Villiers' unlucky injury.
"We have left Jacques Kallis and Dale Steyn out of the T20 squad as part of our turning round policy. Both players were keen to play but this is part of our turning round policy as selectors."
ODI squad: Hashim Amla (capt), Johan Botha, Mark Boucher JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, Jacques Kallis, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Robin Peterson, Graeme Smith, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
T20 squad: Hashim Amla, Johan Botha, JP Duminy, Colin Ingram, Heino Kuhn, Richard Levi, David Miller, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Robin Peterson, Graeme Smith, Rusty Theron, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
