He required stitches and was subsequently unavailable for the rest of the series with Dimitri Mascarenhas taking his place, but will now be on the plane to South Africa on Monday.Wright is viewed a key member of England's one-day unit, providing hard-hitting batting in the middle order and lively pace bowling at various stages of the innings.England have already needed to draft a replacement into their 15-man squad with Graham Onions being called up in place of Andrew Flintoff.The tournament starts on September 22 with England's first match, against Sri Lanka, on Friday.</blockquote>
