Centurion: Ahead of the second T20I of the three-match series at SuperSport Park on Friday against Pakistan, South Africa’s right-arm seamer Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the remaining two T20Is and the three-match ODI series after sustaining a toe injury. The fast bowler initially missed the first T20I on Tuesday, 10 December, after suffering a contusion to his left big toe during training ahead of the opening match. Subsequent scans on Wednesday revealed a fracture. South Africa defeated Pakistan by 11 runs in the first game. Uncapped all-rounder Dayyaan Galiem has been named as Nortje’s replacement for the remaining two T20Is. A statement from Cricket South Africa confirmed that Nortje would consult with a specialist orthopaedic surgeon to determine the recovery period. (ani)
