CAPE TOWN : South Africa will be without middle order batsman Temba Bavuma for their three test tour of England starting in August after he was ruled out with an elbow injury, officials confirmed on Wednesday.
South Africa white-ball skipper and Test vice-captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of their tour of England which starts next month, Cricket South Africa said on Wednesday. Bavuma suffered an elbow injury during a recent Twenty20 series in India and needs eight weeks to recover. The Proteas will play three world championship Tests, three one-day internationals and three T20 internationals against England as well as two T20 internationals against Ireland in England. Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj will lead the one-day team and batsman David Miller will lead the T20 side in Bavuma's absence.
Bavuma, who is also the limited overs captain of the side, will miss the Twenty20 and One-Day International series as well having been their most consistent performer in the longer format over the last year. The selectors have opted for only two spinners in the squad in Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer, who has vast experience of county cricket with Essex.
White ball captain and Test batsman Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the Proteas' entire two-month tour of England and Ireland with an elbow injury.
Opener will find it difficult to get into the team when regulars like Rohit, Rahul returnBENGALURU: In the first six deliveries Ruturaj Gaikwad faced at the M Chinnaswamy stadium on Sunday night, he managed two runs. Nudging, poking and missing, he struggled to find rhythm before a short ball from Kagiso Rabada was pulled over mid-wicket boundary. But the spark was doused three deliveries later, with a slow off-cutter from pacer Lungi Ngidi. The 25-year-old played the shot early and handed Dwaine Pretorius a sitter at mid-wicket. It wasn't the first time the batsman from Maharashtra faltered in the five-match T20 series against South Africa. Barring the 57 in Visakhapatnam, Gaikwad doesn't have much to show in his T20 international career, which is eight matches old.
