Centurion, December 12
Ahead of the second T20I of the three-match series at SuperSport Park on Friday against Pakistan, South Africa's right-arm seamer Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the remaining two T20Is and the three-match ODI series after sustaining a toe injury.
The fast bowler initially missed the first T20I on Tuesday, 10 December, after suffering a contusion to his left big toe during training ahead of the opening match. Subsequent scans on Wednesday revealed a fracture. South Africa defeated Pakistan by 11 runs in the first game.
Uncapped all-rounder Dayyaan Galiem has been named as Nortje's replacement for the remaining two T20Is.
A statement from Cricket South Africa confirmed that Nortje would consult with a specialist orthopaedic surgeon to determine the recovery period.
The remaining T20I fixtures are scheduled for 13 and 14 December, while the ODI series will take place from 17 to 22 December.
