Ntini, whose injury forced him out of the recent third Test at Sydney, underwent rigorous testing on his injured knee, bowling two overs at full pace.
"Makhaya underwent his fitness test and although he passed fit we have decided after careful consideration not to subject him to the rigours of international cricket at this stage," convenor of the national selectors, Haroon Lorgat, said. "He has made a wonderful recovery, but we would prefer to give him further rehabilitation."
Steyn, 22, has played just two one-day internationals but Lorgat is confident his young bowler will rise to the challenge of playing against Australia.
"Dale's speed will add an extra option to our bowling attack if needed. He will also gain further valuable experience by being part of the Proteas set up again."
