The True Post (Web News) The South African cricket team has suffered a major setback ahead of the limited-overs series against Pakistan, when both team captain David Miller and fast bowler Gerald Coetzee were ruled out of the series due to injury.
According to a statement issued by Cricket South Africa, David Miller was injured in a training session during preparations for the Pakistan tour. Due to his injury, he will now undergo rehab and will not be able to participate in the T20 series against Pakistan. On
the other hand, fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has withdrawn from not only the T20 series but also the One-Day International (ODI) series. He was injured during a match against Namibia this month and has been advised complete rest after a medical examination. After these unexpected injuries, Donovan Ferreira has been appointed as the captain of the South African T20 team. This will be the first time in his career that he will lead the national team. Ferreira is known as a dynamic and aggressive batsman, and he is expected to keep the young team united.
Meanwhile, Matteo Bratzke and Tony de Zozzi have been included in the team as replacements. Both players have been in excellent form in recent domestic matches and can play an important role for the team.
Othniel Baartman has been included in the ODI squad in place of Gerald Coetzee, who is an experienced bowler and has gained the trust of the team management due to his measured line and length. It should be noted that the T20 and ODI series between South Africa and Pakistan is starting next week, which is being described as an important stage in the preparations for the World Cup for both teams. According to experts, the absence of captain David Miller and Gerald Coetzee will be a big challenge for South Africa, however, under the new leadership, the team will also have the best opportunity to try new players**.
