Proteas suffer double injury blow ahead of white-ball series in Pakistan

Proteas suffer double injury blow ahead of white-ball series in Pakistan

Miller, who was set to lead the T20I side in the three-match series from 28 October to 01 November, has been sidelined after scans conducted on Wednesday confirmed he had sustained a grade 1 right hamstring strain during training in the build-up to the tour. He will now begin a phased rehabilitation program.  

Coetzee has been ruled out of both the T20I and three-match ODI series, scheduled from 4-8 November, due to a pectoral muscle injury.

The 25-year-old sustained the injury while bowling during the one-off T20I against Namibia in 
Windhoek earlier this month.  

Subsequent scans revealed the extent of the injury and following specialist consultation, he has commenced a structured rehabilitation program under the supervision of the Cricket South Africa High Performance and Momentum Multiply Titans medical teams.

Batters Matthew Breetzke (Warriors) and uncapped Tony de Zorzi have been added to the T20I squad, while Titans batter Donovan Ferreira will captain the side.  

Hollywoodbets Dolphins paceman Ottneil Baartman has been named as Coetzee's replacement in 
the ODI squad.
