Kwena Maphaka To Undergo Scans For Hamstring Concern
The 19-year-old is being monitored for a hamstring concern after picking up discomfort during a domestic four-day match for the Lions against Western Province at Newlands last week, ESPNcricinfo reported. He bowled 5.5 overs in the first innings before leaving the field, but a scan showed no major damage. Maphaka returned in the second innings to take the new ball and impressed with figures of 3 for 26 in 10 overs, helping the Lions seal victory by an innings and 134 runs.
World Test Championship: South Africa pacer Kwena Maphaka, who was selected for the second-string squad to face Namibia in a T20I on October 11 and in the white-ball squads for the upcoming Pakistan tour, is currently being evaluated for an injury picked up during a domestic match.
