South Africa all-rounder Jacques Kallis is in doubt for this month's limited-overs tri-series after aggravating an elbow injury while scoring a century in the third cricket Test against Australia.
Kallis, who scored 111 on Tuesday at Sydney Cricket Ground, will undergo a fitness test later this week, South Africa chairman of selectors Haroon Lorgat said in a statement.
Kallis, co-winner of the International Cricketer of the Year award, missed the drawn first Test in Perth last month after injuring his left elbow and needed treatment in the same area on Monday.
"Jacques Kallis, whose left elbow injury has flared up again, will be assessed over the next few days," Lorgat said. "A decision on his fitness for the one-day series will then be made."
AB de Villiers is on standby should Kallis be ruled out.
South Africa faces World Cup champion Australia and Sri Lanka in the series, which starts on January 13 in Melbourne.
Left-arm orthodox spinner Nicky Boje, who was replaced in the Test team by rookie Johan Botha, has been left out of the limited-overs squad.
Botha, 23, made an unbeaten 20 on Test debut in Sydney and played four ODIs in India in November.

Allrounder Andrew Hall, Boeta Dippenaar and fast bowler Monde Zondeki were also drafted into the limited-overs squad.
