In the second Test against India to be held on January 3, 2024 – a huge setback for South Africa. Proteas’ star pacer Gerald Coetzee has been ruled out. The 22-year-old was ruled out of the crucial second Test, suffering from pelvic inflammation. Fitness issues have plagued the star before. The South African cricket medical team confirmed that Kotsi had inflammation in the first Test in the century.
His discomfort gradually worsened while bowling in India’s second innings, and a scan on Friday revealed the extent of his injury. So it was necessary to exclude him from the upcoming match,’ the South African medical team said.
He bowled just five overs against India in the second innings. He conceded 28 runs without getting any wicket. The player bowled at 5.60 economy. Kotsi bowled 16 overs including a maiden in the first innings and conceded 74 runs, taking one wicket.
But South Africa’s setback is comforting for India. Apart from the star pacer, captain Theba Bavuma is also out of the match due to injury. Both were capable of launching a surprise attack against India. The gap in fast bowlers is now putting South Africa under pressure. The Proteas currently have a limited bowling line-up.
