Nortje ruled out of white-ball series against Pakistan
Dafabet Warriors fast bowler Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the remainder of the KFC T20 International (T20I) series against Pakistan and the proceeding three-match one-day international series due to a left toe injury.
The 31-year-old was initially ruled out of the first KFC T20I on Tuesday after sustaining a contusion to his left big toe during training ahead of the opening match.
Subsequent scans on Wednesday revealed a fracture. He will consult with a specialist orthopaedic surgeon to determine the recovery period.
Momentum Multiply Titans allrounder Dayyaan Galiem has been named as his replacement for the remaining two T20Is at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Friday, 13 December and the DP World Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday, 14 December.
