While brevis

Bangla National Cricket Stadium: South Africa Test captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the side’s upcoming first Test against Bangladesh after scans revealed a left tricep muscle strain.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has added all-rounder Dewald Brevis and pacer Lungi Ngidi to the Test squad. While Brevis has been added as a cover, Ngidi is a replacement for injured pacer Nandre Burger, who will miss the tour due to a lumbar stress fracture and will begin his rehabilitation with the CSA and Western Province medical teams.

Bavuma was ruled out of South Africa’s third ODI against Ireland in Abu Dhabi due to a soft tissue injury on his left elbow, after landing on it while making his ground at the non-striker’s end in the 12th over of South Africa’s innings.
