  • South African pacer Lungi Ngidi has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against Australia following a right hamstring injury sustained during domestic play.
  • Ngidi suffered the injury during a domestic first-class season-opening match between Titans and Dolphins last week; scans on Wednesday confirmed he requires rehabilitation.
