Broos includes Bvuma, Ngezana in Bafana preliminary squad

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has announced a 32-man preliminary squad for this month's friendly matches against Andorra and Algeria.

Bafana participate in the Fifa Series international friendlies pilot project in Algeria next, which runs from March 18 to 26. They meet Andorra at Stade du 19 Mai 1956 in Annaba on March 21 and Algeria at Stade de Nelson Mandela in Algiers on March 26.

Interesting inclusions are in-form Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma, Lamontville Golden Arrows defender Bradley Cross and former Chiefs defender Siyabonga Ngezana, who turns out for FCSB in Romania.

Orlando Pirates captain Innocent Maela is included after injuries kept him out of previous Bafana squads, including the side that won the bronze medal at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast last month.
