Cape Town: South Africa's injury list continues to grow as wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock has been ruled out of the remaining four ODIs and the ensuing T20Is series against India.
De Kock suffered a left wrist injury whilst batting
during the second ODI at Centurion on Sunday and needs two to
four weeks to make a full recovery.
South Africa were already without the services of star
player AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis, who both suffered
finger injuries.
Cricket South Africa has named no replacement for de Kock
in the ODI squad.
De Kock had a forgettable Test series with the bat and
had scored 34 and 20 in the first two ODIs.
Keeper-batsman Heinrich Klaasen had already been included
in the South Africa squad after the first ODI and can now be
expected to make his debut in the third match at Cape Town on
Wednesday.
India won the first ODI at Durban by six wickets and the
second ODI by nine wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the six-match
series.
