Proteas fast bowler Kwena Maphaka has been ruled out of the T20I against Namibia and the white-ball tour of Pakistan.

The 19-year-old strained a hamstring during the Central Gauteng Lions’ opening 4-Day Series match against Western Province at Newlands last week.

Subsequent scans and medical assessments revealed a grade 1-2 injury, and he will undergo rehabilitation over the next four weeks.

KZN Dolphins paceman Ottneil Baartman has been named as Maphaka’s replacement for the T20I against Namibia at Namibia Cricket Ground on Saturday, 11 October. He has also been included in the T20I squad for the three-match series against Pakistan later this month.

Baartman last featured for the Proteas during the home T20I series against Pakistan in December.

Lizaad Williams has been added to the ODI squad for the Pakistan series.

The squad for the Namibia T20I will depart for Windhoek from OR Tambo International Airport on Thursday.
