Scrum-half Fourie du Preez has been recalled to the South Africa squad for the first time since the 2011 World Cup.
The Japan-based back was not part of the set-up for the June series but has been included in the 30-man line-up for their first two matches in the Rugby Championship against Argentina.
Du Preez is one of three players to have been recalled to the squad and is joined by Toulouse prop Gurthro Steenkamp and Stormers back-rower Duane Vermeulen.
Du Preez has been given special dispensation from his club, Suntory Sungoliath, to play in three Tests in South Africa with Piet van Zyl replacing him the squad when he cannot travel with the team.
"We're very thankful to everyone at SARU and Suntory who made it possible to select Fourie," said Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer.
"Fourie has been out of international rugby for a while and it makes sense to involve him as soon as possible. Piet was part of the squad in June and we know what he can do - he will slot in without any problems when necessary."
South Africa squad:
Forwards: Jannie du Plessis, Tendai Mtawarira, Trevor Nyakane, Coenie Oosthuizen, Gurthr? Steenkamp, Bismarck du Plessis, Chiliboy Ralepelle, Adriaan Strauss, Eben Etzebeth, Juandr? Kruger, Flip van der Merwe, Franco van der Merwe, Willem Alberts, Marcell Coetzee, Siya Kolisi, Francois Louw, Duane Vermeulen.
Backs: Fourie du Preez (SA Tests only), Ruan Pienaar, Jano Vermaak, Piet van Zyl (Overseas Tests), Pat Lambie, Morn? Steyn, Juan de Jongh, Jean de Villiers (c), JJ Engelbrecht, Jan Serfontein, Bjorn Basson, Bryan Habana, Zane Kirchner, Willie le Roux.
