WSB Newlands Cricket Ground: South Africa’s promising young fast bowler Kwena Maphaka has been ruled out of the one-off T20I against Namibia and the white-ball tour of Pakistan after sustaining a hamstring strain during a domestic four-day game in Cape Town last week.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed the development in an official statement on Wednesday, announcing that Ottneil Baartman will replace Maphaka for the T20I against Namibia scheduled for October 11 and will also be part of the T20I squad for the Pakistan series later this month.

Meanwhile, Lizaad Williams, who was already part of the T20I setup, has been added to the ODI squad for the tour.
