Another Seamer Injury Blow for South Africa Ahead of Australia ODI Series
Lizaad Williams replaces the 20-year-old after Cricket South Africa said Maphaka will undergo further assessments.
- On Wednesday, fast bowler Kwena Maphaka withdrew from the three-match One Day International series against Australia due to a right hamstring strain sustained during training.
- Maphaka's withdrawal marks the third consecutive hamstring injury to sideline a Proteas fast bowler before the series opener, compounding depth concerns in South Africa's pace attack.
- First-Choice bowlers Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Ottneil Baartman are sidelined with hamstring issues, while seamer Nandre Burger remains unavailable with a back injury, according to Cricket South Africa.
- Boland quick Lizaad Williams has been called into the squad as Maphaka's replacement and is set to join the team in Durban on Wednesday, ahead of Thursday's opener at Kingsmead Stadium.
- The series continues with matches in Johannesburg on Sunday and Potchefstroom on September 30, testing South Africa's ability to compete despite the depleted pace attack.
