Baartman and Phehlukwayo were excluded from the last two ODIs against India

Two South African players will be out for the whole of the three-match ODI series against India due to injuries.

Due to a side strain, all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo and pacer Ottniel Baartman will miss the final two games of the ODI series against India. Phehlukwayo still received a left side strain during the series’ opening game in Johannesburg, while Baartman suffered a right side strain during training.

Beuran Hendricks, a fast bowler, was selected for the team to take the position of the injured players. Since making his international debut in 2014, the 33-year-old Hendricks has played for South Africa in all three forms of the game: one Test, eight ODIs, and 19 T20Is.

Hendricks was a member of the Proteas squad in the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, where he participated in one match against Afghanistan. Hendricks last played an ODI for South Africa in 2021.

Aiden Markram (captain), Nandre Burger, Tony de Zorzi, Beuran Hendricks, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Mihlali Mpongwana, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen, Kyle Verreynne, and Lizaad Williams are the South African team who played in the past two One-Day Internationals.
