CAPE TOWN - South Africa's cricket team faces a significant setback ahead of their upcoming One Day International series against Australia, as Lungi Ngidi joins Kagiso Rabada and Ottneil Baartman on the injury list. Ngidi suffered a right hamstring injury during a domestic first-class game this week and will undergo rehabilitation, ruling him out of the series starting next week.
Rabada and Baartman had previously been sidelined due to hamstring injuries, further weakening the home team's bowling attack. Nqobani Mokoena, a 20-year-old seamer who made his ODI debut against Namibia last week, has been called up to replace Ngidi. Australia retains Kevin Labuschagne for the upcoming Test series in South Africa, with Gerald Coetzee returning to the ODI squad after nearly three years, and Duan Jansen stepping in for Baartman.
South Africa's ODI series against Australia commences in Durban on Thursday, September 24, followed by a three-test series in October.
