    Published on

    Proteas fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has been ruled out of the second Test against Sri Lanka and Pakistan’s tour of South Africa due to a groin injury.

    The 24-year-old experienced discomfort while bowling on day four of the first Test at Kingsmead in Durban on Saturday.

    Results of the scan revealed a right groin muscle strain and his recovery period is estimated to be between four to six weeks.

    Uncapped Lions fast bowler Kwena Maphaka has been added to the squad for the second Test, which will get underway at St George’s Park in Gqeberha from Thursday.
