Another knock as Kwena Maphaka joins growing list of injured Proteas bowlers
Four seam bowlers have now been sidelined with hamstring injuries.
South Africa's bowling woes intensified on Wednesday as fast bowler Kwena Maphaka was ruled out of the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia. Maphaka, a 20-year-old left-arm quick, joined a growing list of injured Proteas bowlers, including Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Ottneil Baartman, who were all sidelined with hamstring issues.
The South African team management confirmed that Maphaka's place in the squad would be taken by right-arm seamer Lizaad Williams. The attack would now consist of Williams, Nqobani Mokoena, Gerald Coetzee, Corbin Bosch, and the Jansen brothers, Marco and Jansen, who have a combined total of just 72 ODI matches to their names.
