George Linde Joins South Africa Team As Travelling Reserve: Report
Day Challenge Division One: Left-arm spin-bowling allrounder George Linde has been added to the South African squad as a travelling reserve for the Champions Trophy, providing cover for Aiden Markram, who is nursing a right hamstring injury, says a report.
Markram sustained the injury while fielding against England and was forced to spend the remainder of the match on the sidelines. His availability for the semi-final clash against New Zealand will be determined following a fitness test during Tuesday evening’s training session.
According to ESPNCricinfo, Linde’s inclusion is part of South Africa’s contingency plan, particularly if they progress to the final in Dubai, where drier conditions could necessitate an additional spinner.
