On Thursday (September 21), the South Africa cricket team was dealt a huge blow as key pacer Anrich Nortje has reportedly been ruled out of the forthcoming CWC 2023 edition in India. Nortje has failed to regain fitness as the pacer has been dealing with lower-back issues. He even missed the home ODIs versus Australia, which Temba Bavuma & Co. won 3-2 after trailing 0-2.
It is to be noted that Nortje was not part of the 2019 ODI World Cup as well due to injury concerns. His experience, raw pace and having played the Indian Premier League (IPL) in India would have certainly benefitted the Proteas in the upcoming edition. As per reports, Sisanda Magala has also been ruled out with injury concerns. Talking about Nortje, the 29-year-old has been a vital part of the Proteas across formats. In white-ball cricket, his ability to hit the deck, provide crucial breakthroughs, bowl at any given point and generate good bounce will be missed by Bavuma & Co. Nortje even missed out on the 2019 World Cup with all-rounder Chris Morris replacing him. It will be interesting to see who replaces him this time around.
Notably, all participating teams can make changes to their WC squad until September 28. South Africa open their account in CWC 2023 on October 07 when they take on 1996 winners Sri Lanka at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. nike air max 97 jacquard rio de janeiro купить
