The 32-year-old shot-stopper made a surprising return to the senior national team on Thursday, and the coach has given reasons for selecting him
Bafana Bafana head coach Molefi Ntseki has defended his decision to include Itumeleng Khune in his latest squad to face Sao Tome and Principe in back-to-back Africa Cup of Nation qualifying matches later this month.
Khune has been limited to just four appearances this season - two in the league before his long-term injury and recently another two in the Nedbank Cup.
His inclusion to the squad raised a few eyebrows with fans questioning whether or not the Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper deserved to be there.
