Hamstring injury forces Ngidi to sit-out ODI against Aussies

Lungi Ngidi will miss the upcoming three-ODI series against Australia due to a right hamstring injury. The injury was first noticed during the first-Class Series match between the Titans and Dolphins. After undergoing scans on Wednesday, Ngidi will now require rehabilitation. The Proteas Men squad update reveals that Ngidi will be absent from the series, with his future availability for the subsequent Test series to be determined closer to the start.

Meanwhile, Dolphins seamer Nqobani Mokoena has been called up to the 16-player ODI squad to fill in for Ngidi.
