De Zorzi has not progressed as expected in his rehabilitation from a right hamstring muscle tear sustained during the One-Day International series against India last month. 


Ferreira, meanwhile, sustained a fracture of his left clavicle during the SA20 encounter between Joburg Super Kings and Pretoria Capitals at the Wanderers. 


Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs have been named as their replacements in the 15-player squad. 


David Miller suffered an adductor muscle injury on Monday while playing for Paarl Royals and will play no part in the T20I series against the West Indies ahead of the World Cup. 


His availability for the T20 World Cup remains subject to the outcome of a fitness test.


North West Dragons batter Rubin Hermann has been added to the squad for the T20I series against West Indies.  


The T20 World Cup squad departs for India on 1 February.
