Court hears teen accused of Perth Zoo crocodile attack moved homes daily in care

South Africa's bowling lineup faces a significant setback as Lungi Ngidi is ruled out of the upcoming ODI series against Australia. Ngidi suffered a right hamstring injury while playing for the Titans against the Dolphins in a domestic first-class match this week. Following scans, Cricket South Africa announced that Ngidi will undergo a period of rehabilitation before his return.

This unfortunate injury joins Kagiso Rabada and Ottneil Baartman, who have already been sidelined with hamstring issues. The combination of these three absent bowlers has created opportunities for other players to step up. Gerald Coetzee, who had been waiting for selection in the 50-over format for nearly three years, has been called up to the national squad.

Duan Jansen, who had impressed on his first tour with the Proteas to Namibia, has taken over Rabada's spot. Moreover, young seamer Nqobani Mokoena, who made his ODI debut during the Namibia tour, has been added to the squad to replace Ngidi. Despite these changes, Rabada, Ngidi, and Baartman are all still considered potential selections ahead of the three-match Test series between South Africa and Australia scheduled for next month.
