Dewald Brevis to miss PAK vs SA ODI series due to injury

As revealed by CSA through its official statement, Dewald Brevis has been sidelined from South Africa's ODI series against Pakistan due to a low-grade shoulder muscle strain. For the unversed, the explosive batter sustained the aforementioned injury during the third and final T20I against Pakistan at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. 

Despite being injured, Brevis won't fly back to South Africa, instead staying with the CSA medical team in Pakistan and preparing for the Test series against India. 

"Momentum Multiply Titans batter Dewald Brevis has been ruled out of the three-match One-Day International series against Pakistan due to a low-grade shoulder muscle strain. He sustained the shoulder injury during the third T20 International at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday. Brevis will undergo rehabilitation with the Proteas Men’s medical team in Pakistan in preparation for the upcoming Test tour of India. His replacement for the ODI series will be announced in due course," CSA posted on X. 

Dewald Brevis didn't have a great time with the bat in the T20I series against Pakistan. The right-hander found it tough to get going in all three matches, amassing just 55 runs at a poor average of 18.33 and a strike rate of 127.91. Although he got starts in two out of three matches, Brevis failed to convert them into significant scores. That said, he has a strike rate of 159.4 in his brief career and South Africa are definitely going to miss his fearless batting in the Pakistan ODIs.
