Overview
- Ferreira injured his left shoulder on January 17 while diving on the final ball against Pretoria Capitals, then retired hurt after facing one delivery as Joburg Super Kings’ stand-in captain.
- ESPNcricinfo reports scans showed a fracture that is expected to rule him out of the remainder of the SA20, leaving his near-term availability in serious doubt.
- Joburg Super Kings must beat Paarl Royals on Monday to reach the playoffs, and Jarren Bacher has been added to their squad in Ferreira’s absence.
- Ferreira was picked for South Africa’s T20 World Cup squad as a finisher, backup wicketkeeper and part-time bowler, with the team’s opener set for February 9 against Canada.
- Potential replacements being discussed include Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs and Matthew Breetzke, though final selection decisions have not been announced.
