South Africa suffered a setback as all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo has been ruled out for the remainder of the ODI series against India. The decision comes ahead of the second game scheduled to take place in Gqeberha on Tuesday.
Phehlukwayo, who played a pivotal role by top-scoring with 33 in South Africa's modest total of 116 during the first match on Sunday, has been sidelined due to a side strain.
Additionally, uncapped seamer Ottniel Baartman, who is also grappling with the same injury, is unavailable for the series. Beuran Hendricks, with eight ODI caps to his name, has been called in as Baartman's replacement.
As of now, no replacement has been announced for Andile Phehlukwayo in the squad.
Updated South Africa ODI squad: Aiden Markram (captain), Nandre Burger, Tony de Zorzi, Beuran Hendricks, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Mihlali Mpongwana, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen, Kyle Verreynne and Lizaad Williams
