Injured Bavuma to miss Zimbabwe Tests
Proteas Test captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series against Zimbabwe due to a left hamstring strain.
Bavuma sustained the injury while batting during South Africa’s second innings on day three of the ICC World Test Championship Final against Australia at Lord’s Cricket Ground.
He is set to undergo further scans to assess the extent of the injury.
Keshav Maharaj will captain the side in his absence.
The squad will depart for Bulawayo on Tuesday.
The first Test gets underway on Saturday, 28 June, followed by the second Test from Sunday, 6 July, with both matches taking place at Queens Sports Club.
Earlier this week, Bavuma and his teammates were greeted by several thousand supporters when they landed in Johannesburg following their five-wicket win over Australia last weekend.
The win gave South Africa its first International Cricket Council title since 1998.
