Proteas and Momentum Multiply Titans fast bowler Gerald Coetzee will miss the second Betway test against India after developing pelvic inflammation during the first test at SuperSport Park in Centurion.

The 23-year-old experienced discomfort in his pelvis, which got progressively worse while bowling on day three of the match. He underwent scans on Friday which revealed the extent of the injury.

Head coach Shukri Conrad has opted to release Coetzee from the squad as a precautionary measure.

No replacement has been named.
