    In another major blow to South Africa, all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius sustained a thumb fracture. He was a vital member of the South African set-up courtesy of his death bowling skills.

    The Proteas will miss the services of the all-rounder and the balance he brought as a death bowler and with the bat lower down the order. “The nature of the injury requires surgical intervention and Dwaine will consult the Cricket South Africa designated hand surgeon on arrival in South Africa,” said South Africa Cricket’s chief medical officer Dr Shuaib Manjra.

    Left-arm pacer Marco Jansen replaced the all-rounder as he got the nod ahead of Andile Phehlukwayo to replace Pretorius in the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.
