Gerald Coeztee, the young South African sensation has been ruled out of the two-match Test series against West Indies due to low-grade side-strain he suffered while playing for Texas Super Kings in Major League Cricket 2024.
The pacer has been replaced by Migael Pretorius who has been in great form in County Championship in England with 23 wickets in eight matches. He is yet to play for South Africa though, but is a welcome addition given his skills and form in recent times.
