Benni McCarthy and Nasief Morris will know today whether they are part of coach Carlo Alberto Parreira’s plans for next year’s World Cup soccer tournament.

South Africa will pick a squad for the first time today since Parreira took over the reins from compatriot Joel Santana.

Bafana play Japan in Port Elizabeth next Saturday and Jamaica in Bloemfontein three days later. McCarthy and Morris, who play their football in England and Spain respectively, are two of a few South Africans that play in top European leagues.

They were regulars in Parreira’s first term as coach, but Santana dropped them on the eve of the Confederations Cup because of disciplinary reasons.
